We drove the scenic highways on our way to Hearst Castle in California. During the trip, we saw the iconic 17 mile road through Pebble Beach and Hwy 1 that runs through Big Sur. The scenery in this area is breath-taking. We stayed a night in Carmel but never got a sighting of Clint Eastwood – bummer!

The Hearst Castle was built by William Randolf Hearst, a newspaper icon in the early 1900’s. The castle took 28 years to build and because he owned over 30 homes, he only stayed at it a few weeks per year. But he spared no expense. It is now a national park.
