Hi all! My husband suggested taking a little trip to make the most of the upcoming 3 day weekend. I'm 34 weeks pregnant right now, so I immediately said NO when he suggested San Diego (that's an 8 hour drive and sounds super uncomfortable to me!) We also have a 22 month old son, so ideally we'd like to go somewhere kid friendly, and requires at most 2-4 hour drive. We live in San Mateo and frequently visit the local spots already (the zoos, museums, parks, etc), so while it's our backup, I'd like to see if there were any good ideas of places a tad further.
Any suggestions are much appreciated!
Take a trip down to Carmel or Big Sur and treat yourself to a massage while you're there. I remember how much my back hurt at 34 weeks. The other place you could go is to wine country, lots of spas up there too.
What about Santa Cruz 1&1/2 hrs., Monterey 2 hrs.,Carmel 2hrs.,Point Reyes 2hrs.,Tahoe 4hrs.,Yosemite 3hrs.,Calistoga 1&1/2 hr.,OldTown Sacramento,Coloma (Sutter's Fort )3&1/2 hrs. , Have FUN!!!!!!!!!
You might also try Capitola. They have a sweet little beach that's just right for small children as there aren't any large waves. The downtown is cute and it's not far at all.
Much better than San Diego!
How about going down to Monterey and/or Santa Cruz. It's 2 hours to Monterey and about 1.5 hours to Santa Cruz. The boardwalk is a lot of fun for youngsters.
