Our last hurrah, and the fastest five days we've spent all summer. We returned to the "Endless View" house in Sea Ranch that we rented once before -- not fancy, but great cliffside views, hot tub, ping-pong table in the garage, and the best deck we've encountered yet. We feel like regulars, knowing exactly which pools & tennis courts to hit, and planning our trips to Two Fish Bakery and Bones Roadhouse ("the best restaurant on the planet" says Nate. I agree.) This time we took our bikes along the coastal trail and mid-week drove the windy drive up to Mendocino where we found what must be the most expensive gas in the US. The fog came in on occasion, but it didn't stop us from buying kites. On our way home Friday, the kids flew kites on the beach for the first time ever. Wunderbar!
