When I need to get out of town & clear my head, a favorite get-away is a road trip to the Madonna Inn, in San Luis Obispo, CA. Built by Alex Madonna in 1958, it continues to be run by his family, & has retained all the character from days gone by. Here's a sampling of photos from some adventures there...
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Super cool pictures! We almost stayed at the Cabiin Still room but had to cancel when we in the process of moving. Can't wait to go though...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rob! You kids will love it there when you get to go. Any room is a great room at the Madonna Inn! I've been dying to go back & do a photo shoot in "Wilheim Tell". ;)
DeleteOhhh, I want to go back and stay so badly... And drink a Pink Cloud!
ReplyDeleteAs you well deserve to, my dear! We are fortunate its location is not so far away... :)
DeleteWow. I'm from the UK, but I remember staying in the Madonna Inn with my parents when I was about 6. We were in the "Wild West," room, if they still have it. Amazed and delighted that it's still going.
