Santa Monica Rocks!

My husband and I just drove down the California coast.  We landed in San Francisco and stayed at the first Fairmont which was beautiful.  We then drove 8 hours down the coast to San Diego stopping at Big Sur, Hearst Castle, Carmel.  Our last stop before returning home was Santa Monica.  What a beautiful town.  Great shopping, first class dining, Muscle Beach, The peir and the route marker for the end of Route 66.  Our hotel was fabulous as were the recomendations given by the concierge.  We drove to Hollywood to see the sights and really got a feel for the California experience.
Thanks for the great memories!
