San Simeon, CA – Santa Monica, CA

Distance:  400 kms

Actual Drive Time:  5.25 hours

Well…we hadn’t anticipated driving all the way to Santa Monica today, but it was such a beautiful, sunny, day…all the beach hotels en route were booked solid.  So, we drove all the way to Santa Monica to stay at the hotel we had planned to meet The Barker’s at tomorrow. The warm chocolate chip cookies and dip in the pool were welcome rewards to our star mini-travelers.

Tonight we’re going to hit up the Third Street Promenade for some dinner.  Tomorrow The Barker’s arrive mid-morning from Brazil and we can’t wait to see them for a day of fun!
