The Sea Ranch

We had the amazing privilege to travel to the northern California coast with most of the Hanks clan early October. Mike's mom rented us all a beautiful house with a gorgeous view of the ocean and we spend a long weekend with her and everyone else including: Uncle Cliff, Aunt Dana, Aunt Julie, Grandpa Hanks, Uncle Shawn, Aunt Mari, and cousins Alexa and Ryder. Sea Ranch is beautiful and we had fun walking along the bluffs overlooking the ocean, observing the tide pools, flying kites, and jumping in the waves despite the freezing cold water. We had wonderful meals provided by Grandma Hanks and got to play games and just hang out in the evenings. It was fantastic. Thank you so much Pat for sharing Sea Ranch with us! We love you!

While checking out the tide pools we also came across some larger sea life.
