Ano Nuevo State Park


This weekend adventure took us to Ano Nuevo State Park to view the Elephant Seals. I haven't been to see the seals since I was about 5 years old (which is a long time ago)! It was a blast! I was a little worried about the unpredictable weather and climbing sand dunes at 6 months pregnant but we all survived and had a great time!


What I learned: Baby elephant seals are called weiners. I couldn't stop laughing!

Male elephant seals can weigh as much as the offensive AND defensive line of the San Francisco 49ers.

Elephant seals are very loud and ugly! This is a picture of the 1st elephant seal we spotted.
