Coastal Refresh

Every year we visit the gems of the California coast to reset after peak work projects are completed and spring break too far off to wait. Knowing when to take breaks throughout the year, changing the scenery and bonding as a family is as important as anything else in life.

Sleepy beach town gold.

From the quaint hotel stay to a short walk across the street to the coastal boardwalk.

Treehouses come in all different types.

Looking for moonstones is one big treasure hunt.

Art is driftwood arranged with a purpose.

A white heron surveys the coastline.

Mesmerized by sea otters cracking food on their stomach. (Too far out to get a photo)

Northern elephant seals sunbathe. The large battle scarred male watches over yearling (top left) and weanling (top right)

The low tide lights up with starfish surrounded mussels.

Nature’s triangular sink?

Balanced

Rooms with a view and who doesn’t love fireplaces.

Telling jokes so good mom laughs with her palms in her face.

Last light after the storm

Refreshed!
