Stupid Travel (Driving) question - LA to Monterey

[MouseWife]

Yep, that day we did only drive a short bit. But, we really wanted to stay in Eureka and Crescent City {we had a free night at the hotel there, that was awesome, btw}.

We really did take our time. Actually, if we had more $$ and time, I'd do it again and stop even more.

And, not necessarily those two places. All over. Eureka didn't have a helluva lot but the hotel was nice {we had a fireplace, indoor/outdoor pool, breakfast} overlooking the ocean. Crescent City, ah, that Hampton Inn was very comfy. And, right along the ocean. We walked right over to the Battery Point Lighthouse. I totally recommend this place, even though it is in the middle of nowhere and in tsunami warning area, it is peaceful and beautiful.

The lighthouse, well, you can only get to it during low tide!

And, I think, also, that the time we turned in was a good time. We had beautiful views greenery from Florence to Portland. {or whenever we hit the major freeway}.

I am dying here, trying to set up another little trip. Since checking rates last night, they've gone up about {at least} $50. I should have just booked the rooms last night....
