Gualala Getaway





After my work project finished up, we decided to spend three days in a house at Sea Ranch. We picked the house Kyuka which was almost on the water and near the rec center. The days alternated between warm sun and drenching rain showers, and we had enough good weather to walk along the beach, swim at the nearby pool, soak in the hot tub (twice), and enjoy champagne out on the deck. We saw whale spouts the first day we arrived, and ventured out one day to visit the Annapolis Winery 20 minutes outside of town. The wines were great and the winemaker was nice enough to answer all my junior winemaker questions (and even gave us an inter-winery discount for the wines we purchased.) Best of all from this vacation was spending so much time with Gina and the kids with no other agenda than to get wet some point during the day and fix a satisfying dinner before we all passed out.
