A California Castle

In celebration of my Dad's birthday, my parents drove down and stayed with my sister Emily (her roommate is off exploring Europe for the summer) giving us plenty of time to relax, hang out, and enjoy quality family time all weekend. As a nice surprise, my Mom purchased tickets for the Hearst Castle tour on Saturday afternoon since neither my Dad or sister had seen it. I had such a great time seeing the castle in the daylight (last year I went on the evening tour) and goofing off with Emily (I think we mimicked close to all of the statues in the garden). Enjoy the pictures of the grand estate!
