Hearst Castle


"...Miss Morgan, we are tired of camping
out in tents at the ranch in San Simeon, I would
like to build a little something…”
.
.
This statement from William Randolph Hearst to renowned
architect, Julia Morgan, is what started it all in 1919.
By 1947, Mr. Hearst had created an estate
boasting 165 rooms and 127 acres of
gardens, terraces, pools, and walkways.
We are going to Hearst Castle in the
morning on a bus with 60 kids!

Short Story
My mom once chaperoned a trip to
Hearst Castle.....one of the kids in her charge jumped into the
indoor pool and my mom had to jump in and get her out.
