While attending Grandma's Family Gather

Here are some views of our trip down to and around the annual event Jeffery's Mom hosts every year after Christmas.  Always a good time!  This year included a walk near the bay where we saw sea lions herding and gorging on the herring run that is coming through now.  So cool!

Pardon the blemishes.  This was taken through my windshield, as it was windy and cold.

Here comes the sun!
