Hello and welcome to my latest trip report from our amazing 3 week road trip around California. We started with 3 nights in San Francisco, then moved down to Monterey for 3 nights, drove down the PCH and had 1 night in Solvang, then 2 nights in Hollywood, 3 nights in Buena Park, 5 nights in Oceanside, 1 night in Bakersfield and saving the best until last 3 nights in Yosemite! We didn't stop the entire time but I can safely say it was the best holiday we've had by far.
