A very memorable trip! San Francisco, Yosemite, Monterey and beautiful memories enroute.
The state maintains a good mix of contrasting ideas – old and new. It lives up to the expectations and also surprises with more! Kids will be happy and so will the parents enjoy this trip. To keep it crisp, I am sharing some highlights from our travel.

Yes it was the Christmas season, but a happy kid is the not what we had expected after 16 hrs of travel. The vibrancy of the city got us from the hotel rooms to the streets.
And here we were on the streets of San Francisco enjoying the antics and affection.

Getting Fire Warden Sticker from the Fire Dept.
San Francisco Zoo – What a wonderful zoo! I have never seen the animals so happy and the staff so loving and caring towards the institution.

Gauhati the rhino from Assam, shares his moment of success after breaking apart his toy!

Didn’t know that Rafiki was a real monkey, till we met this family!

The little toy train is worthy of a ride!




Exploratorium – Must see and enjoy place for kids and also adults
Personally for me, I have never sensed such closeness to design ever not even in the art galleries – demystified science is design and nature’s art.

California Academy of Sciences is an interesting place with a variety of indoor exhibits.








Yosemite Ski and Snowboard Area – Enjoy snow sports at the Badger Pass
Monterey Aquarium is one of its kind. It replicates the sea ecosystem in the aquarium just as shown in the movie ‘Finding Dory’















Whale watching in Monterey
We were lucky to have witnessed migration of grey whale family.

10 days and so much action but truly a child’s delight and a parent’s paradise.
I will probably have to write different blog for our experiences at Yosemite, Red woods and some travel tips! but till that time I hope this is useful for you.
