Today, we woke up at the crack of four, in order to go hot air ballooning. However, when we got to Paso Robles, Mother Nature had other plans (I.e. 8mph winds and a fog blanket). So, we headed back to the Holiday Inn for some much needed FNL, (food, nap, laundry). At 9am, Dre dragged me out of my super comfy bed, so we could make our tour at Hearst Castle. We explore the absurdly gaudy tres casas de Hearst. The detail and art in the house was amazing. Our fav was...

We kicked off a lazy morning with Ty, munching on steel-cut old fashioned oatmeal and the most amazing coconut french toast at Naked Cafe, a local hippie hangout.

We got our VIP tickets at willcall and made our way to the VIP Lounge for a breakfast of coffeecake and fruit. We met our guide, Lauren, and began our adventure with a forty-foot drop at Jurassic Park, without waiting in line, be because we were rolling VIP. Next, our newfound friend Darryl and Dre decided cardio was a necessary evil up four flights of stairs.
