One of my favorite hidden gems in Northern California is the town of Felton. It’s a small town tucked into the redwoods with an incredible railroad camp from the 1800s!

San Mateo is a lovely town with a Japanese Tea Garden, great restaurants, and a nice downtown. It’s a great spot for a day trip!

San Francisco during the holidays is a truly magical time. The entire city is decked out, there’s an air of cheeriness, and ice rinks pop up around town.
