First Leg of Roadtrip

My brother arrived here in Las Vegas last July 31 from the Philippines. He will spend the whole month of August with us. Since his stay is quite limited, we planned a roadtrip adventure for the whole family starting from Southern California towards North California then proceed to Lake Tahoe and Reno in Nevada and then back here in Las Vegas. We are trying to fit the whole trip to about 10 days.
Our first leg of the roadtrip is going to Long Beach to visit my mom's causins. It took us about 4 hrs drive in going to Long Beach from Las Vegas and fortunately the traffic was not really heavy along the freeway since it was a Sunday. We arrived in our aunt's house around 2pm. Bonding with the family was quite heart warming. What was good in Long Beach was their chilly weather in the evenings and mornings, way different in Las Vegas. We will be staying for two days here in Long Beach relaxing and sightseeing. We will proceed with our next leg of this trip early Tuesday morning towards San Francisco via Hway 1. Driving through Highway 1 along the California Pacific coast will be the most picturesque drive that you'll experience. The downside though is that this will be the longest drive of the trip.
Will update more on our trip in the coming post.
