The Vacation That Almost Wasn't

For NYE last year, we were supposed to go up to the San Luis Obispo area, but then I got diagnosed and we had to cancel it. It sucked but it was life. This NYE we decided to take the trip that we didn't get to take last year. It was fabulous. We stayed at Sycamore Mineral Springs in a house and had our own everything, including 2 mineral springs hot tubs. We saw Hearst Castle, took a tour in Paso Robles, which included a couple wineries, a brewery, an olive oil farm and a coffee house. We went hiking and drank beers on the pier in Avila Beach. Actual NYE was a bit mellow. We were so tired from the day, that we just hung at the hotel and watch Ryan Seacrest, but it was perfect. I am so glad my family and I finally got to take this trip. I cannot wait to see what 2014 has in store for me!!
