Tomorrow we will tour Hearst Castle, and then drive the most winding and dramatic section of this highway to Big Sur...and visit Carmel-by-the-Sea and Monterey. I found the appropriate tunes for the trip...the best of the Beach Boys seems the perfect music for this stretch of the road!I'll tell you all about it...later.
Sounds like your having a wonderful trip...enjoy the drive, we've done it many times, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteBe safe....
Oh that does sound like fun along with the musical accompaniment :>)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore Monterey. enjoy the rest of your trip!
ReplyDeleteoh, I love that drive! Are you taking the coast road north of San Fran too? Can't wait to see and hear more about the trip. I've been to Hearst Castle a few times, but never have gone in (to do the tour). I swear next time we are there, I have to go in!
ReplyDeleteI love California's Central Coast. Is that Morro Bay Rock I see? :0)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of the trip home...
Thanks Judy for sharing your road trip..love that you have the 'beach boys' along for the drive..
ReplyDeleteLoved all the recent photos of your trip. You must be having a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteMy grandparents used to drive from San Diego to Lake Louise every fall because it was such a gorgeous drive.
ReplyDeleteThe Hearst Castle is always a good idea! Such an amazing place. I still don't get why WRH's wife turned up her nose at it...except yeah, neighbors were a pretty stiff walk away. His mistress seemed pretty pleased with the place after that.
Golly. To have been a fly on the way during those days at the parties with all thse old timey celebrities!
I really, really hope you have the time and inclination to visit the Aquarium in Monterey. Best EVER! I could live watching seaweed sway and jellies balloon around. Absolutely soothing.
(the word verification is festers. tee hee...)
Oh what a fantastic stretch. . .we have that one in our to do list too. . and what am I listening to as I "do" my house. . .the 70's. Good times.
ReplyDeleteHave fun! I imagine that stretch of highway right along the rocks may have improved a little since I last drove it. Enjoy the Beach Boys! Jan & Dean?
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I came by before work this morning. Your post is going to make me happy all day. I love the ocean, and I love beach music.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to tour San Simeon.
Please take pictures so I can see a tiny bit of the vast beauty that you are beholding. I can't help but think how the Beach Boy's music would fit the occasion perfectly! I am sure it takes you back to a different time of life.
ReplyDeleteTake it all in and enjoy every minute.
What a lovely scene - and Beach Boys music is the perfect soundtrack!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Elaine and I follow your blog. I love to see your farm etc, I couldn't help commenting on this post as we live in Sacramento,CA and just did this very same trip for our 17th anniversary this year. It was beautiful and so relaxing. If its over I hope you enjoyed it and if you are still travelling I hope you have a safe enjoyable trip.
