DH and I are thinking about heading south from Seattle all the way to San Diego on a road trip next month December. We'd like to take anywhere from a month or two at most, so we're not in any time pressure really. That means if we feel like driving only 3-5 hours one day, we'll do so. Other days, longer. If we find a place we like to stay awhile, we'll stay while.
Places that we definitely want to see for a few days are Santa Barbara, Carmel and of course San Diego (We've already spent time in San Fransisco and LA). Have any of you done this or experienced a part of the ride? Are there any places or towns/cities you'd recommend, any particular scenic routes and highways to drive (highway 5 or 101 or other?). Are the weather conditions good along the entire route?
Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks.
