We started off the morning in Moorpark for Breakfast where we decided what the plan was. The Cabbage Patch Restaurant had some nice outdoor seating, and we had a great breakfast before heading up the coast!

It was a great restaurant to start the day, with some great service, good views, and a cool little small town vibe

Once we pulled up to the Avila area, we figured we'd check out the Blue Moon Over Avila for a relaxing meal to celebrate the fun weekend ahead. We had some great salads, soups, and drinks. With a great view of the beach and boardwalk, and some delicious food, we'll be back the next time we're in the area for sure!

For dinner, after arriving in Moonstone Beach, we headed to none other than the Moonstone Beach Bar and Grill. It was right next to the ocean, giving it a nice relaxing vibe where we had a delicious surf and turf dinner with some fish and steak. It was a great way to end a great day of riding

Before heading out to see some great stops on the way home, we swung by Cambria Mimosa's Steak & Seafood for some classic breakfast. We had some coffee, fruit, and some scrambled eggs with a twist. The food was great and the seating was spread out. It's always great trying new places!

Hearst Castle

While we weren't able to make it inside this trip due to closures, we still stopped by the entrance to check it out and talk some history. As you can see in the picture, it's a breathtaking property and even has an olympic sized swimming pool. just off of Highway 1, Hearst Castle stands as an architectural gem among the coastal hills. This national and California state landmark is known for both its refined beauty and idyllic location. You’ll find it a little over 5 miles north-east of the village of San Simeon, and conveniently, it’s about a 4-hour scenic drive from either San Francisco or Los Angeles.

Nitt Witt Ridge

We like to call this one the "Poor Man's Hearst Castle. It's a house on two and a half acres in Cambria, California, United States. Artist Arthur "Art" Harold Beal bought his hillside lot in 1928 and spent most of the next 50 years carving out the terraces with only a pick and shovel, creating his own "castle on a hill". It was really interesting to see and they even offer tours if you choose to check that out!
