San Jose and Santa Monica and Coloma,CA

San Jose, Santa Monica, and Coloma is our first stop and guess what they are all in Califorina.
In San Jose we are going to visit the Winchester house and WOW I am so excited and happy and amazed and I think I should stop now. Anyway I am Desiree and I will be doing the blog for San Jose. Well the flight to San Jose From DFW was long, well only about a little bit less than 4 hours. The flight was $290 per person so to pay for all of us it would be $1,160. I also booked our flight in first class cause that is a long trip so I want to be comfortable. But the flight was great. First we need the car, a shuttle took us to the car rental place called Almo maybe you heard of it? The car is a silver Maxima. The Car rental place is not that far only 3 miles COOL RIGHT!!!!!!! So guess what hotel we are staying at, the great and beautiful Saint Clarie. Well I love it the hotel's food. The food is free except at dinner it is $15 per person I found out about the room we are staying in, it is a Double Dexule Suite. But the best part is that it has a hot tub it has a health club, pool indoor and outdoor.I LOVE IT THERE AND I AM SERIOUS!!!!!!!! So if you want to check it out heres the website http://www.thesaintclarie.com/. Ok now to the best part why we went to San Jose ............The Winchester House . If you don't know about the Winchester House then I'll tell you, There was this lady called Sarah Winchester,and her husband and child died so she start having the kinds of ghost meeting and finds out her famiuly is cursed. Her husband in a ghost form told her that she needs to get all the money from the bank and sell the house and build one all by your self, and she did, one day there was a bad storm coming and a earthqauke which destroyed all her work but she didn't stop working she started all over again because ahe wanted to live. One day she had not worked on the house at all that day, after having a ghost meeting she went to bed she had died in her sleep in July 1992. But the house is haunted and scary we put some pictures that way we can see how looked like. We have a picture of the whole house how it looks today. But it was cool we spend a total of $50.00 for gifts and souvuioners there.

OK, well the Winchester house was great and the nights sleep was good and now we are driving 5 hours and 39 min. to the Santa Monica Pier. It was 339 miles so boy we were tried of driving. But it was worth it. We had so much fun we rode roller coasters and Wow all I can say is wow! We also went to the santa monica pier aquarium. It was awesome.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After that we went back to the hotel and had another good night sleep after that long drive.
