Luckily this year Chris and I had spring break at the same time. So we decided to take a trip up to the central coast of California (which we have been wanting to do for a long time). It was great because Chris took care of all the plans and let it be a surprise on where were we going to stay.
So our first stop was a bagel shop by UC Santa Barbara which Chris has been to years ago with friends. It was a tiny little shop with a TON of bagel choices- from basic to Mexican style ones, to breakfast sandwiches. IT was great!
Then we headed up to a small town call Cambria on the coast. We stayed in a very cute boutique type hotel for two days. While were were there we took morning walks on the beach, strolled down the main street (very small but CUTE), and relaxed.
We also got to go to Hearst Castle. If you are ever in the area it is a MUST see place. It was seriously breathtaking and pretty amazing. Basically, it was the house of William Raldolph Hearst- the Media Tycoon. Back in it's hay-day, everyone from Charlie Chaplin to Winston Churchill stayed there and he used to have the largest private zoo. But most of all the Views and landscape is unbelievable.
Very close to Hearst Castle is a beach were hundreds of Elephant Seals lay out. So we stopped but to check them out. I guess all they do ALL day long is lay out on the beach- what a life!
After our stay in Cambria we went to San Luis Obispo. This is seriously a place I could move to and live forever! It is such a cute, friendly and clean city. Supposedly it is the Happiest City in the United States- and I can see why! I didn't really take any pictures there, except for at the Famous GUM Alley- its pretty gross.
We also stopped on the way to SLO at Morro Bay to take some pictures of the famous Morro Rock.
It was a great trip- a perfect getaway for us to relax and enjoy a break from school and work!
