Instead of the Superbowl, I decided to take my son up to the elephant seals in San Simeon.

As a disclaimer; I have nothing against the sport of football, and do enjoy watching the occasional televised sporting event. But without an invitation to watch the game with friends, I wasn't about to carve out an afternoon of beautiful Central Coast weather and potential for a great sunset, to plop on the couch and eat guacamole.

Although I do love guacamole. A lot.

I have been meaning to get up to the elephant seals with my son, since I feel like he will appreciate them now more than last time. We started our afternoon at Avila Valley Barn with the obligatory animal feeding, hay ride, and then our own picnic lunch. He is really big on picnics right now for some reason. Afterwards we continued the trek up to San Simeon, seeing many deer along the way, but only one zebra.

I didn't really take a ton of photos, but I did have my eye on the old farm house, pictured at the top of this post. Last time we were in the area, I noticed it, and have been wanting to get back up and photograph it ever since with some better light.
