The natives (read: Kids) were getting a bit restless and given that we have another week together cooped up in the house, action needed to be taken. So, the Wife extraordinaire sprang into action, made a few reservations and by noon we were in the car headed to Cambria. Unlike last year, we are only going away for two nights as we want to be relatively close to town for a good friend who's due to give birth any day/hour/moment now.
Riding on Highway 1 through Big Sur is something everyone should do at least once a year (or, one in a lifetime if you live in the East Coast); it's just that remarkably beautiful. Words really don't begin to describe the coastline from half moon bay up through Cambria, which is where we are now. All I can say is that it's good for the soul and it is so astonishing that it makes you believe in a higher power (in the event you don't!).
Tomorrow morning we will go back to Hearst Castle; I enjoyed it so much last year (as did the family) we are returning to check out the upper floors: library, master bedroom, kitchen and more. I will be sure to post pictures. That place is fascinating and once i get back I intend to do some reading on Mr. Hearst. He was quite the fascinating character. After that, the plan is to walk around the quaint town of Cambria, and hopefully go on a hike. We will head home on Wednesday late afternoon, after hopefully stopping in Big Sur for yet another hike.
Man I love California.
More tomorrow.

We expect snow tonite and another storm New Years Eve. We know what you mean about the great weather out there. Enjoy every minute. Did the tooth fairy come last night? It is so exciting to hear that first tooth fell out. We know how excited the girl felt, good thing she didn't swallow it. Have fun and hung your kids a lot.
