Mandy Moore’s recent family getaway to Carmel Valley Ranch in California was nothing short of a delightful summer adventure. The actress took to Instagram to share a series of photos from their trip, playfully captioning that “no fun was had at all” – a clear indication that they had an absolute blast.
Moore’s decision to visit the ranch was inspired by fellow foodie Gaby Dalkin’s previous visit, which left her convinced that it truly is “the mecca for families.” The “This Is Us” star expressed her love for the ranch’s welcoming atmosphere, where kids and families are not just accepted but celebrated.
A Family-Friendly Oasis
The photos captured Moore and her two sons, Augustus “Gus,” 3, and Oscar “Ozzie,” 19 months, engaging in various activities, from observing animals to indulging in the resort’s signature “nightly roast your own s’mores kits.” Moore revealed that she and her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, plan to return to the ranch without their children, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the tranquil surroundings.
Beyond the ranch’s offerings, Moore shared additional details about their adventures on her Instagram Stories. The family explored nearby attractions, including the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the Carmel Fire Station in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
Expanding the Family
Just last month, on May 31, Moore and Goldsmith announced that they are expecting a baby girl. In a heartwarming caption, they referenced Moore’s onscreen children in “This Is Us,” stating, “Sometimes life imitates art. The third in our own Big Three coming soon.”
As the family prepares to welcome their newest addition, it’s clear that their trip to Carmel Valley Ranch was a cherished moment, filled with laughter, adventure, and the creation of lasting memories.
