Jim was busy, as usual, so my mom and I took the kids to Hearst Castle for Spring Break. Road Trip!!!

We stopped at some aquarium and the kids loved these huge shells out front…

We saw Nitt Wit Ridge in Cambria. It’s a huge house built by a hermit guy out of shells, toilet seats, tires…it’s so funny!! We missed the tours, though…bummer!!

We went to the night tour, where they have docents dress up in character and wander around.

Along the beaches in this area, it happens to be elephant seal molting season….all the boy seals come here to shed their winter coats while they wait for the ladies to arrive and deliver their pups!! We gotta come back for that season!!
