Beautiful hiking and a beer garden in the woods! You need a parking reservation, so make sure to book early :)
Walk the Golden Gate Bridge. Start on the Sausalito side and walk across to the San Francisco side. Can be windy and cool, so check the weather
Drive out to Point Reyes Lighthouse. Plenty of beautiful stops along the way. You can bring lunch with you or grab a bite in downtown Point Reyes
Abandon your kids and enjoy Sonoma's town square. This is a beautiful place to walk around and grab a bite, do some wine tasting or shopping. There are also endless vineyards between Sonoma and Napa. Be sure to book a tasting in advance!
Beautiful town in the redwoods along the Russian River. All different activities from kayaking to wine tasting. Plenty to do for all ages
If you haven't heard about San Francisco, there's not much I can do for you. I mean, come on! The Presidio, Crissy Field, Ghirardelli Chocolate, Fort Mason, Palace of Fine arts, Lombard St, Coit Tower, Fisherman's Warf, The Embarcadero, The Painted Ladies, Golden Gate Park. I think there's even a Target somewhere.
This one is a little far, but if you're spending some time out here, it's worth the drive. A beautiful area along the CA-1 coastline with large cliffs and windy roads. You can stay a night in Carmel-by-the-Sea after your day of exploring
This is about 3.5-4 hrs from our venue, but if you're here for a week or more, then I'd highly consider it. A beautiful lake that's a great place for kids an adults. So many activities! DM me if you want the deets
