Again....Costal trip with the Anderson Family

Back in January, Josh & I went on a trip up the coast. When we told Josh's family about it they wanted to do the fun trip. So Memorial Day weekend we did a repeat. Our first stop Solvang. The small Danish town. Since Josh's family has a strong Danish line it was a perfect stop.

Jennifer, Josh , Dad & Mom Anderson

Of course we had to stop and get some treats from the Danish Bakery

Next stop, spend the night at the Madonna Inn

Josh at the Madonna Inn

Our bathroom we stayed in the room that was called "What's Left" so it was all the extra materials were used here as you can see that there is no real pattern. The room flooring looked the same as the walls here in the bathroom, just carpet though. This was our 2nd time staying here, it was a fun place.

Next stop Hearst Castle where we all took at tour.

Mom Anderson, Jennifer, Sunshine & Angela

Josh & Jennifer at the pier that Mr. Hearst had put in for his materials that had to be shipped in.

Josh & Jennifer at the pool getting ready to start our tour.

Our tour took us through the guest house, the gardens outside...

We saw a few places where Mr. Hearst's guest were entertained & what they could do while visiting the Hearst Ranch. The picture above is the ONLY bathroom that people are allowed to use inside the Castle, the only access was on our tour. Guess who got to go to the bathroom inside Hearst castle?? I did...I just couldn't hold it. It was a nice older bathroom.

Every detail from floor to ceiling is amazing.

The Neptune pool (indoor pool).

Next stop: DETOUR

Because of the land slide, it has covered & destroyed a couple parts of hwy 1, so we were able to make it all the way up the coast. We could only go to a certain point. We turned around and headed up to Monterrey up the 5 freeway.

Next stop: Elephant Seal's
