Howdy Too ...

Hello once more. If I have whatever readers left, welcome back.  

Vacation was dandy. Watching my grandson walk downwardly the aisle to go his high school diploma brought tears to my eyes too a tug at my heart.  I tin all the same come across him running downward the hall butt naked as he liked to do after a bath, beyond that I call up the thrill of his kickoff flick (the sonogram) announcing his impending arrival, the showtime time I held him inward my arms; and so I remembered back to all those memories of his mother and know how she feels releasing her firstborn into the existent globe. It'second a sobering experience.

The solar day later the graduation the six of us piled into the auto in addition to spent the twenty-four hour period wandering around Monterey Wharf.  I bought the one as well as solely matter on the entire trip at that place.  Ray jokes that I have a sweatshirt from everywhere nosotros visit because I never bring a jacket.  Monterey was no exception, the daytime was wonderful, only one time the sun started to ready, the breeze off the H2O was form of brisk.  Surprised him though, I didn't purchase a sweatshirt, instead, I bought a fleece jacket in my colour.  It did come up in handy a brace of times on the trip, just and so I mixed it in amongst my Clearwater exertion jacket from a previous trip.

We left that surface area the next morning time subsequently breakfast amongst our daughter.  It was sorry to go out simply easier knowing that presently my honey volition be celebrating his 75th birthday and she's coming to share the experience.

Our side by side finish was Cambria.  It is a pocket-size seacoast town not likewise far from San Simeon together with Hearst Castle which nosotros planned to tour.  It'sec funny, but all the years living inwards California together with passing it numerable times, we never stopped, and then this was the perfect chance.  We stayed at a home called Cambria Pines Lodge which is a resort settled among the pines  Great home, we stayed inward a quaint cottage, decorated inward the mode of the Hearst Castle era. I booked it through TravelZoo - it was dandy, two nights, a dinner amongst a bottle of wine in addition to two full breakfasts for i cost.  Definitely the best deal of the entire trip.  Hearst Castle sits atop a mountain and the thought is spectacular.  The tour was worth taking to get roughly of the histories of the castle together with such.  The furnishings were opulent merely I couldn't aid only mean that it was decadence of the royal guild (think Old Hollywood equally depicted inward the movies) except this stuff was existent together with worth millions.

That was the stop of schedule constituent of the trip.  After that, we were traveling on a whim alongside no particular finish inwards heed except it would be along the coast.  We couldn't accept Highway one all the way which was disappointing.  There was a huge landslide concluding twelvemonth as well as it is nonetheless unopen and so we missed approximately of those breathtaking vistas through Big Sur.  

We did make do to brand a end at Pea Soup Anderson'sec, a landmark restaurant along 101, famous for it'sec,  approximate what - pea soup.  Ray e'er made it a indicate to stop at that place and it was close to luncheon so....  It'sec the same merely the town, Buellton, has grown upwardly around it.  Not as well far is the Danish village of Solvang, noted for their pastries as well as Scandinavian charm.

In instance yous haven't guessed by immediately, this travelogue is inwards home of a level.  Not in one case on the whole trip did I write i discussion - and so much for plans.  It did get me thinking though that I'thousand going to follow through on what I've been thinking well-nigh for a patch.  I'thousand going to accept a pause from Mon stories too blogging inward full general - at to the lowest degree through the summer.  I'1000 non going totally away and will postal service hither too there but not on a regular schedule.  For around fourth dimension straight off, I've felt similar a fraud on this venue alongside the exclusively affair making it legit inwards my eyes was that I supplied stories virtually TTWD.  Well, late I've fallen off that horse in addition to can't appear to go dorsum upwardly.  A interruption might be simply what I take.

So, like a shot that I've given yous the tidings, I think I volition finish this week's mail together with who knows the residuum of the trip power be some other post in a duad of days or adjacent week.  Who knows?

Thanks for reading as well as meet you lot after for more than Aimless Ramblings.
