hearst castle

i have been going to the central coast ever since i was born. a private beach in san simeon has been a favorite summer beach spot for years. however, i have NEVER been to hearst castle. so my lovely husband took the family for the adventure.

the tapestries that he had hanging in the formal living room were the original. as in from back in the 1500s!!!!! the louvre in france only has the replicas...can you believe that!!!!

the marble statues were stunning.

hello pools!

next time we are up there i am itching to tour the upstairs, kitchen, and cottages that surround the castle!
