On our way down the coast, we stopped at Salinas and paid homage at the Steinbeck Museum. Then we took a drive through Cannery Rown in Monterey. Just a tourist trap now.

We stopped for lunch at Big Sur and revealed to the children the big surprise. The last two days of the road trip were going to be at Disneyland. They looked rather pleased.

Highway One.

We arrived after the last guided tour of Hearst Castle at San Simeon. A look through the telescope was as close as we got.
