So after spending the night at our hotel Portola in Monterey, which we got a really good deal on (can't believe I didn't take any pictures, because regardless of some of the reviews is one of the nicest hotels I have stayed at) we headed off down the Scenic Coastal Highway 1 and the Hearst Castle.
ok so i found some pictures on their website...and the rooms looked exactly like this!
J's parents had a king bed and a room the size of our living area in our house...but it isn't listed. From their terrace you could see the wharf and the ice rink set up for the holidays, we could not since we were behind some rather large trees.
Those cows live the life with a great view! We spotted them on the bus ride up to the top, this is about halfway up the hill. Once to the top we started our Upstairs Suites Tour outside with Larry the tour guide ( J and I are at odds as to whether or not this is the same guide we had last time..I really think he is...just sayin')
I still can't get over all the details on the building, the art work that is on display and the idea that I (and my three little sticky fingered boys) am walking this close to it with out any protective glass or ropes
Even though we had visited back in May (doing the Grand Rooms Tour), the boys enjoyed learning even more about the "castle" and were well behaved and even asked questions during the tour.
Apparently M was extra photogenic that day...
N loved the "gatekeeper" statues that were bigger then him.
