You're right about the snow. I live about four hours away from Lake Tahoe, which is a popular place for skiing as well as summer recreation. Oh, and let's not forget about the casinos.![]()
I've only been to Napa once, when my husband's friend got married. Beautiful place.
My husband and I went to Monterey recently to have dinner on the wharf. Other than that, we like to go to the aquarium out there.
One of my favorite places to go is Moro Bay and Hearst Castle. The former is a peaceful, artsy town. And the castle is something that everyone should see. The place is huge and full of amazing architecture and art.
I've been to Lake Tahoe a few times to ski. My favorite casino is the CalNeva. Lots of history, and a really interesting place.
I wish I could have gone south farther. Never saw Hearst Castle, though I wanted to.
California is a varied, interesting, and beautiful state. The weather where I lived in Redwood City was just about perfect year round. The only problem is that it's so expensive there. You can understand why -- it's so desirable.
