Hello Bloggineers. We are driving to Cambria, a seaside village in San Luis Obispo County.
First stop is Hearst Castle in San Simeon.
This was once the home of newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst. It is now a house museum that is open to the public.
Hello everyone. My name is Alex Trebek.
On behalf of California State Parks, I would like to welcome you to the first San Simeon State Historical Monument,
better known as Hearst Castle.
Today we'll be going on the 60 minute long Grand Rooms Tour.
We will be visiting a single level through the main building called Casa Grande.
We're passing by the Neptune Pool, which is currently empty because it's under construction.
This is what it looks like when there's water.
There are many beautiful artworks on the grounds here.
And nothing beats a awesome view from up here.
Designed by architect Julia Morgan between 1919 and 1947, this estate comprise 165 rooms and 123 acres of gardens, terraces, pools, and walkways.
Our tour guide is taking us inside the mansion.
First is the Assembly Room.
This is a giant living room where most social evenings begin when Hearst had society's best and brightest on hand.
This room is decorated with hundreds of pieces of art.
Next is the Refractory, a monastery style dining hall.
It features high windows, bright silk banners, and gleaming silver candlesticks.
Then we visit to the billiard room
and the theater.
The tour continued outside and we saw the tennis courts.
Followed by the Roman Pool, which is accompanied by statues of roman gods and contains about two hundred thousand gallons of water.
Now we're doing the Junior Ranger program.
Lastly we turned in our booklets, got a stamp in our passport, and received our badge.
We had so much fun at Hearst Castle.
We're driving to Cambria.
Our next stop is Stepladder Ranch.
Founded in the early 1870s, this is a family-owned artisan goat dairy and Creamery
Today Ms. Caitlyn will be giving us a tour.
We're going inside the enclosure to pet the baby goat.
Brother, don't be scared. They won't bite you.
I'm going to hold one.
[Ms. Caitlyn] Here you go. Perfect!
Oh no, it got away!
This one is nibbling on my finger because it thinks there's milk.
Oh no, it's not letting go!
The goats are being naughty and trying to pull Brother's pants down.
He managed to escape, but a kid followed him out.
I'm going to lure it back with my finger.
Now. It's time to feed the baby some milk from the bottle.
And then we got a chance to try it
Next we're going to say the adult female goats.
Help, I'm trapped!
Brother doesn't want to come in because he's scared.
[Ms. Caitlyn] Gotta walk with them.
[Ms. Caitlyn] They're gonna scratch their head on you like a scratching post.
Hey sneaky little goat, why'd you bump me?
Now we're going to see a milking demonstration.
[Ms. Kaitlyn] And then they will gently suction mama and they'll pull all the milk out of her.
While they're being milked, the goats will be munching on some goat granola.
[Ms. Kaitlyn] This is a raw milk room.
The milk comes from the goats are transferred here.
[Ms. Kaitlyn] Over here you will see all the creamy, delicious, raw milk.
We're peeping in to see where they make the cheese and where they do the packaging.
Lastly were visiting the gift shop. I'm going to sample some goat cheese.
I wonder what this smells like.
There's even avocado honey.
[Brother] It's so good.
We had so much fun at Stepladder Creamery.
Our next stop is Moonstone Beach.
This place is famous for its dramatic coastline and breathtaking view.
This is why it's coming some beach because there's a lot of these.
I'm going to go in the water to wash my feet. And to see how cold it is.
It's cold!
[Brother] I want to go to the ocean.
Brother, be careful so you don't get wet.
Brother, I told you to be careful.
[Brother] Ha ha, your pants got wet too.
We had a fun time here, and now we need to change .
Our last stop is the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve.
These trails meander through 437 acres of protected forest, riparian habitat, and grasslands.
Brother is practicing his balance.
We're going off the boardwalk onto a dirt trail.
We found a nice bench to sit on and now it's time for picture.
We are approaching the edge of a cliff.
Brother, better be careful so you don't fall down.
The views here are magnificent.
