Hearst Castle and Monterey

So I spent four days and three nights on a road trip with my pal. It was so great traveling with her. She was so chill. That's the great thing with people they usually are chill. Anyway, we left for San Simeon on Thursday, stopping at Camarillo. Hello, I made a killing there. I bought so much for myself there... Yeah, and the peeps I was shopping for. They made out even better than I did. So, we shopped then left for Monterey. Oh my Gosh, that drive took way longer than I had expected. It was only an hour and a half to Camarillo. It was another 3 hours to San Simeon, and around 5, major amounts of fog rolled in. Remember that fog in San Diego? Yeah, like that. It was pretty scary.
Well, we arrived in San Simeon at around 8. But, it felt like Midnight. We ate dinner then crashed around 11:00. The next morning was foggy, we left at 9:30 after breakfast in our hotel. We drove up to Hearst Castle, man that place was foggy. When we got to the visitor's center it was so gloomy. Well we drove up this windy hill on a tour bus, and got to the top safely. It was amazing, let's just say, no clouds on that hill... I loved it there. Yeah, can I be rich and build my home on some deserted hill overlooking the Pacific? So we did that, where I chatted it up with a fellow Democrat from OC, which is quitee rare, then left for Monterey.
Monterey was amazing. It was such a cute town and my friend's auntie took great care of us. We chilled and walked, saw the aquarium and had a fun, chill time. Then we drove 6 hours and got back to Mission Viejo. Let's just say, if my Hawaii fantasy can't happen. Monterey is next on the list.
Anyway, I am out. Thanks for reading. I'll catch you later. This is Silverplatters signing off.
