Santa Monica – San Diego

Distance: 200 kms

Actual Drive Time: 2.5 hours

We made it! We had so much fun last night with The Barker’s…we were a little slow going this morning. After a quick stop and In-N-Out Burger …we hit the road for San Diego. We have a no fast food rule this trip…In-N-Out Burger is the exception to the rule because we don’t get to have it at home…and it is so delish! We had thought we would drive the coastal road today…but it was so slow going, and we couldn’t see the coast anyway, so we opted for the freeway to get us their faster.  What a wonderful surprise when we pulled up to our Hotwire hotel. It was AMAZING. The stars really aligned today…we had such a great evening here at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe.  Our room had a big private deck with lots of room to play…wonderful pool…beautiful lawns where we played (or tried to play) croquet…and a delicious, grown-up, dinner, where the kids were good the entire time.  Thank you stars 😉
