through. Heading northbound again we were off towards our first stop,
the Hearst Castle. My mom said we had to stop and see the ranch, she
even paid our entry fees...so we had to stop. It was well worth it, the
place is amazing. We started off by watching the IMAX movie about W.R.
Hearst, because we needed the background on the castle before we went
up the hill. The tour was great, I only hope I get back there so we
can see more of the house next time. The views from the top of the
hill were incredible. After the tour we stopped off along the coast to
see some of the Elephant Seals basking in the sun. These were a lot
more active than the seals in La Jolla, and were quite entertaining.
The only sounds they made were burping and farting sounds, check out
the pics. We drove along the coast with amazing scenery and through
Big Sur. We finally stopped in Monterey for dinner just as the sun was
setting. We decided to walk out along the Fisherman's Warf and had
dinner at the Sandbar and Grill. Great food, great atmosphere. Since
we were only a few hours from Davis we decided to keep driving and make
it to John and Jana's (Chris' cousins) house. I am meeting so many of
his family members I've never met before....its great. We arrived
pretty late, just in time to go to bed so we could get up and do wine
county the next day......Kara and Chris

Hearst Casle
Did you get a chance to stop in Cambria? It's about seven miles south of Hearsts Castle. Barb,Stevie and me are going up in June for a tour of the Castle and a few days of wine tasting. Yippeee. We were there last year and had a blast. Keep it simple and have fun.
