Next week for my birthday, I'll be traveling to the west coast to the fabulous places shown here.

A day trip to San Simeon (aka the
Hearst castle, the indoor pool seen in the top photo) was the catalyst for the whole vacation. I wanted to spend my 30th birthday doing something fabulous -whats more extraordinary than a fairytale castle along the ocean!

Exploring San Franciso, the
Filoli mansion and Carmel are on the agenda, can you recommend any other must-sees or restaurants in particular?

Of course I also plan on staying at a few fabulous hotels that I can't wait to share with you all :-)
