Our first stop was the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose. Sara Winchester, the widow of the Winchester gun heir, lost her mother, father-in-law, and husband within a few months and inherited a huge fortune. She did not have any children and moved to California for a better climate to improve her health. She purchased a two-story, eight room house on 45 acres in 1886 with plans to expand the house. At the time of her death in 1922, the house had 160 rooms, 2,000 doors, 10,000 windows, 47 stairways, 47 fireplaces, 13 bathrooms, and 6 kitchens.<sup> <\/sup>There are stairs that lead nowhere, doors that open to plain walls, and a maze-like floor plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re overnighting in Monterey. The beach is absolutely gorgeous, but the water is very cold!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3741-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3741-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3741-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3741-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3741-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3741-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3738-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3738-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3738-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3738-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3738-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3738-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3730-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3730-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3730-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3730-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3730-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3730-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3768-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3768-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3768-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3768-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3768-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3768-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3752-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3752-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3752-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3752-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3752-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3752-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re making our way south from the Russian River Valley to Los Angeles.
