Grzynkowicz's Raid SoCal

Hearst Castle is well worth the visit. I went there on my cruise in August. I found the road north of there much more interesting, though.

Marty, Hurst Castle is cool, (personally I don't know how anyone could live in a castle, kinda cold with those huge rooms) but interesting to see....As I said earlier, stay on Moonstone Beach in Cambria or the best Western in San Simeon....you won't be sorry....I know what I am talking about....

Vince call me at home 630-513-7357

Here is a link. Hearst Castle is worth the visit. make reservations for the tours. Last tour I made was the up and down stairs and the wine cellar. The castle is just nort of the annual west coast run.

My father in law was stationed at the Castle, as a coast watch, in WWII, and was billited in one of the guest houses. the fellows were allowed to use the Neptune pool when off duty.

Having fun. We hit the Peir, Regan Library, DT Hollywood & Bev Hills for dinner last night. CA is Fricken freezing every time I come here. It gets nice around 1-4pm and then the sun goes down and the chill sets in. Looks like the houses are built to keep the heat out here. The houses are on slabs so the floor is cold, especially on the italian tile floor we are walking on here. Im sure that is a good thing when the temps are in the 80s and 90s in the summer. I like the Simi Valley area where Gerd lives, some really cool vistas from the Regan library. I also ran into Topanga Canyon rd off of PCH 1. Sandy was tired but I had to check it out after seeing Jim's videos. Very cool curves. I had two sick passengers but at least I can say I drove that road.

Got to visit with the Grzynkowicz's yesterday for lunch along with the guamaniac, good to see Marty and Sandy again, the boys, not so much..
Only kidding, Ha Ha, I think everyone knows how I feel about kids..
They should be seen, and not heard, old saying for you youngsters...

Did you guys get to see any whales? I never get skunked at that spot in P.V. have fun & I'll see you in Carlisle....

Lunch at Ruby's 50s Diner in Redondo Beach Marina; L-R, Cuz'n Vinny, Sandy G, Nicholas, MUSBJIM, Anthony G, Marty.

Looks like you enjoy sitting next to Sandy, Vince. She IS kinda cute.

You like cigars? I'll be stocking up for the Carlisle trip soon. Almost the only time of year I smoke 'em, but I'm up for making it a tradition.

Marty - You ever gonna bring the kids to Carlisle? They'd have a blast, but then maybe mommy and daddy want some "alone time" ;-)

Lane...Macanudo's will do just fine....Please tell me Carlisle is an Adults only affair...

Actually I think very few of us could really be called adults. Still, if you go strictly by age it usually is "adults only".

Vince, I think I have two kids, but Carlisle? Hell no! They stay with Mom that weekend! Cigars, and fine libations, and gas, tires, oil, and a few laughs too. You'll be fine.

Marty and Sandy came by and we had a wonderful night
great stories about Bill as he roomed with them when we did the Palm Desert trip two years ago and we all met for the first time.
Dinner tomorrow night
vince jimmy u interested
Oh Vince, the kids are coming to Carlisle they loved uncle Vincey

Gerd thanks so much for dinner the other night. We needed a night out with no Italian food & no broken english. For the record Gerd also talks in CAPS!

Vince I hate to admit your right but I need another vacation from the kids. Four hour plan ride and now we are in the car heading home. They are still at it:-(

Marty...I never lie, problem of mine..the kids think I'm brutally honest, all the time....
