Trip to Northern CA

We drove from San Diego and took the longer route to San Francisco. Instead of taking I-5 we took the Pacific Coast High Way the scenic route to San Francisco. It took us 25% of our time driving through the scenic route than I-5. The drive was worth it the breeze was very relaxing. If in rush to get to your destination I would not recommend to take PCH instead take I-5. Nothing much to see in I-5 but you'll get to San Francisco in about 7 hours.
