Cruising the Pacific Coast Highway, visiting Sherman's Botanical Gardens and Mission San Luis Rey de Francia

Today I took the whole day and cruised down toward San Diego on the Pacific Coast Highway. It was quite a journey. The road in many spots was so narrow I wondered if I was going to become a statistic. I stopped in Santa Anna at Sherman's Botanical Gardens. It was an experience and I recommend it if you get in the area.

Then, I cruised along the coast and enjoyed the cool temps. It was in the 90's inland but in the 70's along the coast. The views were amazing. It is a place that you need 2 or 3 days to explore at least. Take lots of dough. Parking and anything you need there is expensive.

I got to Mission San Luis Rey de Francia late and it wasn't open. But, just walking around the outside was worth it.

Need I even say what the drive was like heading back to Tustin... at rush hour!
