That's no baby. It's a little girl.

Theda meeting the squirrel was one of the high points of the trip.

(I'm still falling down on the "baby" side of that question: ask me again when she's figured out verbs and/or I no longer have to wipe her butt for her. :)

ps. we were prevented from getting to the Jade Beach by CA-1, which had the ill timing to be swept into the sea the weekend we did this. :(

Fine little person you have there.

Also, I heart San Simeon. Mainly for the pools. But also the woodwork.

I actually had strongly mixed feelings about Hearst Castle. Parts of it were beautiful, yes, but in that way that you'd sort of expect things to be if someone bought out every art auction in europe for 20 years straight and then threw it all into the same house... which is basically what happened. All due respect to Julia Morgan, but that much rococo and neoclassical styling all mashed up together just felt way too busy for my tastes, especially considering that this happened in the middle of the Art Deco era.

...but the pools and the kitchen, I loved.
