November 2023

November was a pretty slow, rainy month. Jon did go up the coast to the newly renovated Sea Ranch Lodge for a couple of days and we saw David Brooks speak at Dominican University.

Sea Ranch Lodge

Jon went up to Sea Ranch on a solo trip to stay in the newly renovated Sea Ranch Lodge for a couple of rainy days. The main part of the lodge was renovated a couple of years ago and they just finished renovating the rooms. The rooms are modern but minimalist. It was a nice visit but the services were a bit sparse. For example, the dining room is only open Thursday-Monday. The last time Jon took a solo trip to Sea Ranch, he stayed nearby in the Charles Moore condo.
