Hearst Castle Visit


Anyone want to know what old money looks like?

Go visit Hearst Castle on the Pacific Coast Highway in California.

Imagine having enough money to purchase ancient Egyptian statues and 1800 year old Roman columns to decorate around one of the two pools you have in your yard.





Now imagine having your own zoo with lions, tigers, bears, antelope, zebras, kangaroos, etc. running around on that property and friends such as Charlie Chaplin, Sir Winston Churchill, and the like stopping in for extended visits.

This was the last stop on our way up to San Francisco. At first Zachary and Ethan were a bit bored. But once the tour started they were hooked.

I think we all liked the pool beneath the tennis courts the best.

Or maybe it was the private home theater in the main house... Tough call *smile*

Anyone else been there?
