We had a long day today. We saw a lot though. We drove up Hwy 1 from Pismo Beach to Pacific Grove. Saw lots of beautiful scenery along the way. We stopped many times at the pullouts to look at the views. We also stopped at the Hearst Castle tourist spot but decided not to take the tour. We only saw the castle from the distance through a telescope.
We took the 17 mile scenic drive from Carmel to Monterey. We saw the Lone Cyprus, Bird Rock and some sea lions. After that we drove through Pacific Grove to see if we could find Grandpa and Grandma's old apartment. We never did figure out which one it was.
Once we were through at Pacific Grove - we decided to pass on anymore scenery and just get to Oakland. We switched from Hwy 1 to 101 and could make much better time. With the many stops we made it took us ALL day to get from Pismo to Oakland. That's okay though - it was the journey - not the destination we were after today.
I am not too crazy about this Quality Inn. The rooms are small and badly decorated. I think it is clean though - and the have free internet access! I think we will probably go see San Francisco tomorrow and then maybe start to Vegas on Saturday. We can probably find a nice hotel along the way to stay for a couple of days. The boys just want to swim - so all we need is a pool. Oh and we need Nickelodeon and Disney channel :)
Well that's about it for now. I had too much caffeine today and can't get to sleep. Guess I should try again.

Sounds like you are having a great time. I have enjoyed "traveling right along with you" by reading the blogs. That was a neat idea.
Be safe and enjoy the rest of your vacation.
Love Maxine
