I might get hate for saying this but I'm a smaller female too and I think people are just meaner to us when we are alone. I walk around with my big husky man and I'm so much braver because nobody says shit to me lmao. I am so happy for you two. You two are a dream team!

I noticed that to my wife, who’s small petite will be shopping or something and a customer will walk in very rude to her and I tell her I bet you if I was next to you or your brother was next to you or a man was next to you that guy wouldn’t be so brave. If it’s true, what you say when women are alone, men think they can mouth off more and in society, it’s not right.

I have to agree! No body reaches over me or cuts me in line when we’re together!

My dad is tall and he used to take a hand towel or some kind of scarf to put through the handle of the wagon to make it longer. Made it easier to pull.

The guy in the video is a friend of my sisters since high school. His name is Scott Hamill and he’s an amazing artist! It’s a small world 😊. Thanks for the videos! You guys are great. I’ve learned a lot. (I grew up in Santa Cruz, but am in Oregon now) Also I believe you can see the finished painting on his site.

My beautiful sister Anita was a volunteer docent at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park for 20 years, giving tours to thousands of people. It’s such an awe inspiring place. ❤

Per the Henry Cowell State Park website: Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park staff have announced a prescribed burn in the Redwood Grove this Tuesday, May 9. 60 brush piles 6′ x 6′ in size will be ignited throughout the grove. The burn is part of the park’s management effort to reduce the fuel load in the old-growth forest and restore habitat. Staff and fire crews will be onsite for the duration of the burn. (You're welcome, guys!)

@The Homeschooling Picker Now this was an AWESOME video!! I loved watching every single thing about it, from Kayla traveling, going to the flea market and getting to see something I’ve never seen before and that was the redwoods and the banana slugs!!! 🐌 🍌🤭 You all are amazing people, I was smiling the entire time I watched this video. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible time of your lives.

Matt."Drive In theaters". Not Drive through. Lol

I am from Russia and those boxes are beautiful. It’s a type of folk art which is very traditional and each region has their own color scheme. I have several myself. I am so glad you recognize the workmanship and someone is willing to pay good money for them to have these treasures in their collection. If you need anything to be translated let me know.

Kayla, I feel your excitement just looking at your beautiful smiling face and hearing the joy in your voice... Enjoy... You are a beautiful soul. Hugs to you and Matt.

I def vibed with Kayla when she said "he's not getting my candied pecans. " So something I would say to my husband.

Matt is our gentle giant who respects all beings, and who could be more worthy of his love?!! NOBODY ELSE! Makes me so happy to see him happy, and you as well chickadee!

Watching this today is like being on a tiny vacation! Thanks!!

Kayla! Welcome to California! If I knew you were coming I’d baked a cake!! Love that you were here💜

Omg - my recent sale of the MCM Denmark gravy boat was shown in the video at the end! I saw the picture and thought “I just sold one just like that” and sure enough you were referencing mine! Thanks for the thrill!

I am 5 1 & nobody messes with me. I didn't get married until I was 47 years old & fended for myself for a long time. Being an RN for many years toughened me up also. Kayla & Matt, thank you for this great video! I also bought a winter hat from your shop.

😂😂😂 I went to San Diego with my best friend and she kept jumping the barriers to make photos in the pines on the coastline. It was a national park and I kept telling her I didn’t have bail money but nope over she would go. Thank goodness we made it home.

Not that your life isn’t busy enough, you two need to start a travel channel. Not sure what order I have seen your videos, but this one , San Francisco, the beach, the pier and other places you have gone to flea markets in where you do a bit of sightseeing are so funny and this is in no way meant as an insult, but seeing them through Kayla’s eyes is like seeing them as a child. Kayla you are so curious and innocent the way you approach new adventurers. Seriously, think about doing short sightseeing videos like this one. ❤

Wow! Matt's "wingspan" is over 6 feet?!! Makes some of our Eagles look small! 😁😂👐💗 I just love that he called it his wingspan!

"It's always better together." That's a perfect statement. I'm so happy for Matt enjoying his flea market with Kayla for being open to new experiences. You two are a joy to watch and are great teachers, too.

Welcome to California! The Redwoods are so awesome. Maybe next trip come to Southern California and come to the Long Beach Antique Flea Market and then out to Riverside and Palm Springs. We have some fantastic estate sales, thrift shops and antique malls.

If you drive about 6 hours north, to the actual Northern CA, go to Redwood National Park. Spectacular!!

Ok I'll shut up after this... The banter between you is really what every reseller wants for a partner. Perhaps that's why so many got divorced recently? and it's not over I'm sure because thrifting is the whole new craze... list and sell it is the problem many folks have after seeing such joy in a video like y'alls. My man comes in to help me ever so often but most of the time he just sits and waits in the car which makes me feel like I need to hurry up and get out of there but my relief comes in "shit shopping" - so I just don't try to take him as much anymore. We all need a Matt or perhaps a Matt-ilda 😂😂😂

Kayla welcome to Ca. You and Matt are perfect together ♥️♥️

Welcome to California. I'm originally from WV and have lived in Concord, ca for about 35 years. The redwoods are truly amazing. Hope you have a great visit. Matt and Kayla make a great couple ❤

What a fun video!! I could feel the excitement Kayla had just being in CA and the wonderful trip through the redwoods. Thanks for taking us there with you two!! Matt was so excited to show you all the treasures and the forest!! So happy for you two!!

Thank you for sharing. I look forward to all your videos but this one is the best. I live in California and never get tired of the redwoods or banana slugs.

Thanks for the Redwood and banana slug tour. It's beautiful!

The redwoods by frisco are no match to the redwoods by the Oregon border

I cracked up at the trinket box when Matt said it’s like a horse with long ears 😂 Donkey maybe?

Oh you just went past a sweet grass basket. They never seem to loose their scent.

Taking my kids about 5 hours north of there to explore along the Avenue of Giants in a few weeks. Absolutely magical places to see! So glad you guys are doing all these fun things…keep spreading joy!❤

Give yourself plenty of time at the Avenue of the Giants. The trees are massive and plentiful.Its a winding road, so take your time and enjoy!

I actually enjoyed this video a lot more than usual because not only do you get the flea market you also get to experience the nature aspects of the trip😮

This is SO EXCITING!!!! Now, I’ve gotta go watch this video!! Ahhhh!!!

My father brought boxes back from Russia like those you found in the 1970s. He said they were done by artists who were no longer allowed to paint religious content.

It was nice seeing the redwood forest footage. We visited there when I was a teen. Finding the giant banana slugs was the highlight of the trip!

So sad Big Basin Redwoods State Park Didn’t survive the fire 😢

No matter your size, stand your ground! I'm 5ft8 and if anything is said or done towards me, which happens, I let rip. Some people are just damn rude.

I adore you guys. It does not matter what I am doing when I see one of your videos posted I have to stop what I am doing and watch. You are a match made in heaven💖💕

Always better together than alone! Just love all the videos the HomeSchoolPicker and Matt’s videos. You two are just the sweetest!

I used to live in Sacramento when I was a child for 4 years and we went to the redwoods probably every year when grandparents would show up for holidays or long weekends and that was a great place to take him they just love to look at the trees and see how big they are.

Really enjoy watching videos of the two of you together. Picking and enjoying one another's company. Have a ❓ When are the two of you going to get married ???

You left that fenton Moonglow hobnail nappy dish. I thought you totally would have grabbed that. It was a find.

Hey Kayla and Matt! So happy that you made it to Cali Kayla! Enjoy! ❤❤

This was a special video for me. I love both of you and I’m excited about your future but in this video, you walk past the redwood tree where I buried my wife’s ashes. There is amazing love and positive energy among those trees. Be well and thank for sharing your adventures.

Been missing the Flea Market content, can't wait to watch!

The hands of that squirrel were so fluffy with fur. It was so cute.

So excited to see your video. Banana slugs.... funny story. Im from the sf bay area. When i was 5th grade, we went to outdoor education, Camp LaHonda. 5 days there in cabins. Crazy experiences but one of them while hiking with the group the camp counselor pointed out banana slugs. They made us LICK them!!!!! Omg was it just the counselors being cruel because there was no point!!!!! Lol actually licking it made our tounges numb. Lol. Any loved your video and i hope you had a great time in California!!

Love all these old trees. We have an old oak tree around us and it would take 4 people arms out to surround it's width, possible 5 people. Great that y'all got to do that.

Also try the Santa Cruz flea market it's open on Saturday and I believe sunday too. It's a lot smaller than San Jose but you can find some really cool stuff and you'll be close to the boardwalk and the beaches.

Love when u both do these videos together.

I love watching these. However the amount of times he says COOL drives me whack. Personal problem- I know lol.

I am thrilled that you found more Russian lacquer boxes. I recall the one you got in arizona. If you look closely it almost looks like they are painted with brushes that only have just a couple of bristles. If you find a newer one from say the 90s 2000s you'll see that they are not nearly as detailed

I loved this so much, I am watching it over and over! Thanks for sharing your trip with us. ❤

WOW!!! Those banana 🍌 slugs are cool!! 👍🏽 First time I've ever seen one" & the trees 🌲🌲🌲🌲 are amazing!! Thank you so much for showing us all 😊👍🏽

Kayla, how exciting for you to go out to California. Matt must of been so happy! You both are adorable! Thank you for taking us on your adventure!

you guy’s work really well thrifting together. I enjoy watching your videos. And the happiness it brings you both.

Matt was so happy & proud to show u around his neck of the woods awwwww

I have those same mice! I hide them around my house and let the grands try and find them! I think they were .50 each at Flea Across Florida.

Hiya, Kayla and Matt! I would LOVE to have been there with you! So much fun! A bit of nostalgia for me every time I watch you guys your videos. At 7:55 marker the puzzles that you were looking at, reminded me instantly of my younger days. I was born in 1959, and our church had those puzzles in the nursery. The kids had so much fun with them, that they were worn down on the side the pieces and were loose and floppy in the holes, and the paint was fading. That's how well loved they were. So neat to see them again, after all of these years.

I cannot stop smiling when I watch you two! Hugs to you both for having so much respect and love for each other!

If you guys are still in the Bay area I highly recommend you go to Santa Cruz to the mystery spot Kayla will love it.

I loved Kayla’s excitement x

You two are so cute. I love your videos. Thanks for sharing your travels and all the great finds❤️

WOW Kayla & Matt,thanks for sharing these magnificent trees.l live in Australia & we have a Eucalyptus tree ‘Mountain Ash’ at 90 mts tall & our oldest recorded living tree is the Huon Pine at 3000 years old.Love you both & your very entertaining channels.👏🐨🦘♥️

Love your trips with Matt the past months, you 2 have so much fun and find such great things.

Yay! Capitol Flea Market! Lots of memories from when I was young going there. We used to go to Berryessa and the Oakland Flea. I heard Berryessa isn’t the same as it was from when I was living there but I always remember the heat and the asphalt was sticky 😂. Glad you made it to Cali to experience the west! Wish I were back to see my family but plans are in the works! Anything but North Dakota right now and the minus ° weather 😂

When you get a chance, research how the giant redwoods can catch on fire from under the ground. Making it burn from the inside out. It’s truly fascinating, and why it’s so burnt when you walk in to the hollow of the trees. Yet, when you step out, they look pretty normal. Not burnt at all. Still hoping you two come to my neck of the woods. Monterey coast, Big Sur… If the rain doesn’t cause mudslides. Carmel and the coastal drive is so breathtaking. Kayla would love it. Plus the boho shops and restaurants along the drive are wonderful. Have fun!

You guys are so fun and funny! A slug isn't a bug...it's like a snail without a shell! Great trip ! Thanks for sharing!

Matt, they jump! Kayla looks up, they do?! 😂😂😂😂😂

It’s a long time coming for you two in California!! How fun ✌🏼

I watch both of your videos and especially enjoy watching you two together! Welcome to Northern California, Kayla! Santa Cruz is a beautiful area and I enjoyed attending UC Santa Cruz and was a Banana Slug in the late 80s. I now live in Sacramento, but try to get back to the beach as often as possible. The piles at Henry Cowell are brush piles that prepare for prescribed burns monitored by park staff. Would love to thrift with both of you!🐛🌲🏖

Awesome!

I love all your excitement. Kayla! 😊

Thanks for taking us along on your adventures! I love the tree park. Wow. Makes me want to go there to check it out ❤ ❤

At 12:57 the weird twisty thing Matt picked up at the same time you picked up the cloisonne egg is a stand for the egg. You just twist the two pieces a certain way.

🌷 You two and your show- crash through the ‘glass ceiling’ of everything good! Thank you 🥰

Welcome to California! I went to the big Flea Market many years ago. Trying to avoid crowds these days. Glad you guys had a great time.

Loved seeing you with the Giant Redwoods....My Grandparents took us there in 1957, We travelled by train from Kansas. (Brave Grandparents )

I love this episode! Glad you’re both back from vacation!

I can not imagine anyone behaving mean towards you, Kayla, you are such a little dolly!🥰I'm sure Matt has your back!

Kayla!!!!! Your joy and enthusiasm for the redwoods and banana slug is beautiful! As someone who lives in California and has been to many of the places in this video (watched a movie at that drive in/flea market) I sometimes forget all the beauty around me, so thank you for the reminder. Also Matt, what a terrific event planner, protector, and safe place for Kayla!
