 Armstrong Redwoods State
Reserve by TravelSimone
There are nice walks that can be taken throughout the park on self-guided trails and a picnic area.
Here are the official directions from the CA Govt Park website:
The reserve is located two miles north of Guerneville on Armstrong Woods Road. From Highway 101- coming North or South- take the River Road exit (in Santa Rosa). Go west on River Road until you reach Guerneville. At the second stop light make a right hand turn onto Armstrong Woods Road. This road will end in the park.
17020 Armstrong Woods Road
Guerneville, CA 95446 Leave a Comment

It's not really off the beaten path and it's not out of town, but it's the trip I love to take over and over. If you're vacationing and have a car in San Francisco (at which point I would question your sanity), try taking this little tour. You'll see so much of what is beautiful in San Francisco: twin peaks, the coastline west of the golden gate bridge, golden gate park, and the marina. Ok.. maybe I could pass on the marina. :) Instead of the marina I would head up the hill from the marina and snoop around Union Street and Buchanan, to see how the other half live... or should I say other 5%? I really wonder how much some of these properties are worth.
All in all it's a beautiful trip. Don't miss it. Be sure to click on the picture of the map in the link below for the full route. Leave a Comment

The drive along the coast is amazing. There are a few places to stop and take pictures. Or you can stop at the beach before heading to the downtown area. The main street in Half Moon Bay has cute shops and restaurants. It has a quaint small town feel to it. People are friendly. For me it's a nice break from the city. Leave a Comment

When I was about 12 or 13 years old, I read an article about the Winchester Mystery House and I always thought it would be really neat to visit this rather eccentric mansion. My trip to San Francisco being my first time out in California, I did a bit of research online to see if it was possible to book a trip from SF to San Jose to visit the Winchester Mystery House and when I found out that Super Sightseeing Tours could take us there, I immediately decided to book it (http://www.supersightseeing.com).
The shuttle picked us up at our hotel - they showed up 40 minutes late, so I was glad the lady at our hotel's tourist info desk could call them to make sure they were coming. We left San Francisco at 2:30 pm and made our way down to San Jose aboard a not-so-comfy shuttle bus, but at least the scenery was very nice. Once we got to the Winchester Mystery House, we were given some time to visit the firearms museum, which features a large collection of Winchester rifles, "The Gun that Won the West". Our guide Dzimitry then took us on an amazing 1h tour of Sarah Winchester's fantastic mansion. The tour goes through 110 of the house's 160 rooms, which are filled with weird architectural details. Sarah Winchester, the widow of William Winchester and heiress to the rifle maker's fortune, believed her family was being haunted by the spirits of men and women killed by the famous rifles. In order to appease the spirits, a medium recommended she built a house for them - construction began in 1884, and for the next 38 years (until Sarah Winchester died at the age of 83) carpenters worked on the house 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Mrs. Winchester would hold "seances" at night and give instructions to the crew the following day, many of which were down right bizarre: staircases leading to the ceiling, windows and doors opening up on a wall, chimneys that stop a few feet short of the ceiling... it all makes for a very entertaining tour!
Once we were done touring around the house, we were invited to do the garden tour on our own, and we also had a bit of time to visit the giftshop before it was time to head back to San Francisco (we got back at around 6:30 pm). I thought the price ($60) was fairly reasonable, especially considering that it costs $26 just to visit the house. For me, visiting the Winchester Mystery House was a bit of a dream come true and it definitely lived up to my expectations! Leave a Comment

I stayed at a wonderful bed and breakfast called the Shafsky house. Stephanie and Rita, the owners, made sure I was comfortable and have everything I needed, including a full and delightful breakfast each morning. They had great ideas for things to do. The house/rooms are charming and the location is terrific, close enough to downtown to walk to restaurants and bars, but since it's a few blocks away, it's very quiet. Best, the price was definitely right! Leave a Comment

This is a rescue centre for seals & sealions, most of whom are orphaned or abandoned. The aim is to get them back into the wild as soon as they are fit & healthy. You can watch them swimming or basking, & learning to catch fish.
The centre is a short drive across the Golden Gate Bridge, on the Marin Headlands. You take the exit immediately after the crossing & then turn under the highway. Leave a Comment
