San Simeon to Oxnard, California 8.3.2012

|

After the Mission Inn continental breakfast,

we left Santa Cruz, taking the 17 Mile Drive on the Monterey Peninsula

through Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, and Carmel-by-the-Sea,

on through Big Sur, San Simeon, and San Luis Obispo,

and make it as far as Oxnard, California

before night sets in and we are almost without a room…

After getting shut down for rooms during a busy summer of travelers,

one hotel is kind enough to make reservations for us at another hotel in Oxnard,

Country Inn & Suites Port Hueneme.

with no nearby restaurants open.

We travel on to Laguna Beach in the morning.
