The green pea soup place.. I forget the name and am too lazy to google the name, you can give it to me...
So how was the soup?
I love Hilton Hotels you know exactly what you are getting, I love the brand standard and sometimes we are rewarded with extras. I think we have been Diamond for 4 or 5 years now and the upgrades are amazing!
We try to stay Hilton if at all convenient. Like you said nice perks. I actually do not like peas. I tried the soup for the first time and it wasn't bad, but I still didn't care for it. I thought it had overtones of dirt in the flavor.
Nice hotel!!! I don't mind members of the Hilton brand but prefer not to stay in a Hilton on vacay as that's where work always sends me. I actually prefer the Hilton Express (or whatever it's called) to regular Hiltons.
Except for the bar.
Our favorites are the Embassy Suites and Homewood Suites (with the kitchens). Both feature a living room and bedroom. I like that, because right now I'm on the computer in the living room while Fran is still asleep in the bedroom.
I love Embassy Suites and Extended Stay Deluxe a great value for the money and the ability to stretch out I was hoping you would start posting on this trip can't wait to see the cars & you both in formal wear
The formal wear will probably be once we get home since that's the last night. Turns out nothing is going on Sunday, so we are looking to check out then instead of Monday. We miss the kitties.
Love Andersen's Split Pea.
Why did you get two rooms? Is that a perk? It's very ice and very roomy.
LA traffic.
Michael says he's the better driver during all conditions; open road, traffic, whatever.
Digging the parking lot view.
Nice salad and wings.
Bingo! Brandi knew the place, but you got the name!
Embassy Suites always have two rooms. Perfect for families of four, the kiddos can sleep in the living room on the pull out couch. Not sure what you would do with your fifth!
Fran does think she is the better driver, but with all her pain pills she gets really drowsy especially in traffic. I have to keep waking her up, so better that I drive!
Oh love Embassy suites! That was one if our fav on our road trips. Very comfy beds! Nice being a valued customer
Hope you managed to meet lots of nice like minded people in your new group. How exciting! Maybe you will see some familiar faces at your lovely breakfast this morning and later on at the car show. Are you hoping to see any particular models that are rare to admire? What would be each of your dream cars if money were no object?
Have fun! Hope you slept well on those comfy beds and lovely dinner. Spilt pea soup + comfy beds = princess Fran and Alison and the Pea.

It's nice that this is the hotel of choice for the event. Well, I'll be back to post on how many people we met, but that might be a while.
We have a somewhat full day today. Trying to get Fran to breakfast before the crowds hit.
Another fan of the Embassy Suites and their breakfast. Cook your own waffles. Mmmmmm.
As a non-US resident, can I admit that I've never been to Andersen's?
Hope you're having a great time in SLO.
Actually you're thinking of Marriott or Homewood Suites. Embassy Suites has cooks that make your stuff to order, but I would like some of those cook y
our own waffles about now....
Well I only tasted the soup for the first time the other night, so I think you're off the hook.
We are having a relaxing time. I'm too tired for Great!
I know she had pancakes because she asked me to get her more syrup and she had a bowl of watermelon because I got that for her too. We finished up breakfast at 9:30 and noticed them promptly cleaning up the fruit from the buffet. I noticed that folks were still waiting in line for the omelets even after 9:30, so its good to know they will keep cooking after the official breakfast is over.
