Hearst Castle



Today, we are driving up the PCH Hwy 1 to Big Sir. This is about a two hour drive, each way, up the Pacific Coast. It is a beautiful drive of switchbacks and hairpin turns all while cliffs with tumbling rocks are on one side and sheer drops on the other. This is a drive that would be impossible to do in the bus. Our first stop was the Hearst Castle in San Simeon. You can see it atop the hill over our shoulders. We watched a video about the castle before we came so the kids were all caught up on the history. It really is an amazing place with breathtaking views of the ocean.
