Sea Ranch

We started out our summer with a fun trip to Sea Ranch with some of our favorite cousins! This place is along the coast in the Sonoma County. It was a long drive, but well worth the memories we created with some of our family!July 2012 035 Hot Tub on the balconyJuly 2012 048Some great cousin time!

July 2012 052 Our view from many morning walks and hikes. This place is very woodsy and green. Gorgeous!!

July 2012 072 We hiked  lot right along the cliff of the ocean. It made it VERY chilly most mornings!! But a great warm hug from Bubba made it all worth it!

July 2012 139 Eva had a blast chasing the water. It was so interesting to not be able to get into the water in Sea Ranch because it is soooo cold, nothing like what we are used to!!

July 2012 185 It was so cold, I had four layers underneath my jacket. I don’t know how the kids made it through the chill!!

July 2012 189 One morning we found a gang of sea lions basking in the sun and beaching it for a time! They are the silliest things watching on sand and how they “scoot” around. The kids loved watching them!

We had a blast! Many mornings full of hikes, crafts, eating, swimming, hot tubing, late night laughing attacks in bed, deer, sea lions, freezing ocean water, tide pools and tons of FUN!!! What made this all worth while, was the pure exhaustion that my girls had the drive back home! It was a Blissful 8 hour drive home!!!
