Day One on the road!!

Well, today was our first day on the road. We left San Diego in our sweet Honda Civic Hybrid (an upgrade, and pretty gas efficient!). Taylor was super excited to document the gas mileage of the car for the entire trip and I was excited because our trendy vehicle had an iPod hookup in it, which might make the 30+ hours in the car a little more bearable.

After loading up the poor little car with all our stuff we took off for the north! After about 15 minutes we hit traffic...and to be honest it didn't really get any better. Los Angeles was bumper to bumper and when we finally got onto the 101 (the awesome coastal highway) it was closed to one lane. After a very slow and scenic drive past LA, Santa Barbara, and a whole lot of beach, we finally made it to Pismo Beach. Our little hotel is old, but kinda cute and right one the beach! We got here in time to watch the sunset over the Pacific and have an awesome BBQ dinner.

Tomorrow we are going to drive from here to Big Sur, and are going to visit Hearst Castle on the way. Anyway - here are some pictures of what we have seen so far. Not a very touristy day, but the rest should be less driving and more site seeing. Hope you enjoy!!
