Route 66 Day 8: Barstow, CA to Santa Monica, CA, 180 miles

Our last day on the road – started chilly, ended in some rain (“sunny California” say what?) but we have made it! Total of 2324 miles and we will now enjoy Memorial Day on the California coast before heading back to Atlanta on Tuesday.

Today we crossed the last stretch of California from Barstow through Victorville, San Bernardino, LaVerne, Pasadena, Hollywood, and Beverly Hills to Santa Monica. Got in a little late and in the rain so we will hit the pier for the official endpoint pic tomorrow. Tonight we went immediately for a margarita, some chile rellenos and then a few pints of Guinness to celebrate completing the journey.
