Day 106

My boys and I just returned from our first official mini family vacation getaway. Keegan took Thursday and Friday off and we headed up to a way cool place about 2 hours North up the coast called Sea Ranch. The ten mile stretch of land was purchased by a development company in 1963 and envisioned as a second home community integral to the land, weather, plants and animals. There are just under 2,500 residences in the private community, many which have won design awards, and open only to owners and renters. Given my architecture background, this has been on my list of things to do while living in California for a while now and it did not disappoint, even with the foggy, overcast weather. It was really sweet to have that time together as a little unit of 3 without any distraction (i.e. NO internet or cell phone reception for 4 full days!!) Liam was so excited to have our undivided attention. We hiked along the bluffs and through tree tunnels, frolicked on the beach in the sand and in tidepools, created spontaneous, creative, silly games (given the lack of kid toys), watched deer, fox, and Seal mommas with their freshly born Seal pups, relaxed on our deck facing the ocean, ate bbq, drank wine (for the 21 and over crowd). SO glad I didn't go with Disney Land. Liam didn't want to come home. Likewise Buddy, likewise.
