But, truth be told, I’d not been since I was knee-high to a grasshopper! So, when the I got the chance to go back, I decided to do things a little differently…
Rather than drive south out of San Francisco down Highway 1 (like so many people do), we’d venture inland and explore some of the different landscapes that make California so amazing.
Driving around the state is really easy, so the plan was to spend a few days in the big city, head north to wine country, then go east into the mountains on the state’s border with Nevada. After that, we’d drive back across country to the coast and spend some time there before returning home.
That would give us a nice variety of scenery and landscapes, the chance to try a few different activities and the opportunity to sample some of the best food and drink the Golden State has to offer!
