Hearst Castle and Elephant Seals

On our first day without the kids we drove down to Hearst Castle and to see the elephant seals.
It was so windy! And pretty smelly!
These are just the juveniles, the BIG ones were up trying to visit us in Seattle and Alaska. 
These seals can dive down one mile! And hold their breath for an hour! Woah!

They bus you to the Hearst castle up on the top of the hill. 

A word to the wise, if you step off the carpet, you get a whipping from the guides.

 
It was considered "classy" to have bottled condiments back in the day.


California has no water, so no water in the outside pool.

California has enough water for the indoor pool
