For our one year anniversary, my boyfriend and I went to Hearst Castle for the first time. It’s located in San Simeon, CA and we drove up from San Luis Obispo, which turned out to be about a 45 minute drive. We happened to go on a great, beautiful day so we had an amazing view from the castle.
After brushing some dust off my DSLR (just kidding, but really, it’s been a while), I took a bunch of photos on our tour and while exploring the castle grounds. Any photos I took of the inside didn’t do the castle interior any justice because my lens couldn’t capture the entirety of any room. But I will show you the photos I took outside, which includes a bunch of beautiful flowers. To see the inside, you’ll just have to go visit it yourself! It’s not too pricey either. At about $25/person, it’s a great Disneyland + museum hybrid kind of experience.

And introducing…the newest addition to my life:
Yup, I was very blessed to receive a 2013 Nexus 7 from my boyfriend 🙂 And it’s great. Definitely heading toward an Android world and I’m really liking it!
Hope you enjoyed this post and recap of my sightseeing weekend. Have a great rest of the week everyone!
