Spring Break 2009, Part 1

No real time for text, the pictures will tell all.

For Californians (using acronyms): PCH from LA to SF.

For outsiders: a most excellent trip driving up the coast, the standard fare of beautiful sunsets, ocean views, wine tasting high class hotels, camping on the cliffs, and all with the best possible company.

Left from Santa Monica, cruised through Malibu on California Highway 1; Pacific Coast Highway.

Brief photo with a solar car and chaser van on the Santa Barbara pier!

Some good-lookin' folks enjoying the sunset in Santa Barbara.

Snazzy pants and a fishing sign on the pier.


Little Black Sambo's Restaurant in Santa Barbara. Sambo likes pancakes.

Perfect hotel on the beach, Santa Barbara.

San Luis Obispo Mission


San Luis Obispo Mission, Nave. Exquisite paintings of flowers and birds.

Nice little wildflower. Or planted flower. Whatever.

Hard to beat: Soft Cheese, fresh berries, Pinot Noir, and a killer view.

West of Los Olivos, CA

Strong to quite strong. 356, says Jos. (Note the pups in the window!)

Just south of Big Sur, PCH, picnic lunch stop.

  2. What a fun road trip!
    We hopefully will be heading to Cali in a couple of years- and I need to include that on our list of things to do!
    Keep Smiling:)
