Actually, we just got back from our Spring Break trip up the coast. We started out in Pismo Beach (an hour or so north of Santa Barbara) and spent some time with our friends Cliff & Heather.
Then we drove up to San Francisco. We LOVED the city! We stayed at the Stanyan Park Hotel in Haight-Ashbury which really set the Victorian/hippie vibe San Fran is known for. We did all the usual too: Golden Gate bridge, Lombard St., Chinatown, and of course, the houses from the opening credits of "Full House."
Our absolute favorite though was Alcatraz. As much as we both love history it was sure to be a hit...but, add 40 degree temperatures, rain, fog and darkness and you have a recipe for one creepy evening. Needless to say we were cold and wet but loved every minute of it (after we actually got there of course).
On our way back home, we took the coast all the way back and stopped for part of the day in Big Sur for a little hiking. Pictures cannot possibly convey how gorgeous the California coast is...wow. This state gets a bad rap sometimes, but it's stuff like this that makes you fall in love with it.
"This ain't a threat, but I think I better warn ya. Gonna fall in love if you go to California..."
Why do ya'll have to leave Cali again? I haven't gotten to see enough of it yet...
ReplyDeleteFun blog! Great pictures! Soooo glad y'all have made the most of your time in Cali! Wish we had time to get up to San Fran while y'all are still there. (love, m & p!)
ReplyDeleteWhat? Is Drew falling in love with California!?
ReplyDeleteIf I had a dime every time I heard Drew say I hate CA, I would be a rich man.
Are you coming back to Texas or just moving to a different state? I love the pics, especially the hiking and San Fran ones! :)
