skybytch 273 #29 March 8, 2008 Quote How long does that drive take along the coast? To do it right, three days. Leave the city mid-day and stay north of Monterey the first night for a leisurely few hours drive. Plan to stay the second night in in San Luis Obispo, which will leave a 4-5 hour drive to LA the next day. There is soooo much to see between Monterey and SLO (Monterey Aquarium, Carmel, Big Sur, Hearst Castle...) that although it's only about a three hour drive you can easily stretch it to all day. For online directions, ask it how to get from SF to Big Sur and then from Big Sur to LA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #30 March 8, 2008 Thanks, everyone! My Dad doesn't do anything leisurely. In fact he said, "find out how many things we can do in 20 minute blocks of time". They'll be heading out on a Sunday and he mentioned wanting to leave LA on a Wednesday, so there's not too much time especially since they want to see LA too. Maybe my Mom will get him to at least leave on Thursday. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It takes longer than 20 minutes to see it though. Be yourself! MooOOooOoo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

June 27th. Their last day of school. Either they're done by the 3pm show time or they play hooky with me! As the kids said, when I showed them the link and the video they had advertising it .... AUNTIE! THAT LOOKS SO COOL! CAN WE GO?? WILL YOU TAKE US?? PLEASE! THAT LOOKS SO COOL!! Yep ... I'm cool. To two 11 year olds and two 13 year olds.
