I need a California family vacation without a lot of walking involved?

MirandaGardens — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 00:28:47 +0000

My wonderful mom wants to treat our family 2 adults, 2 children to a family vacation. She of course will be coming along, but can’t walk that much (heart condition) and refuses a wheelchair. Any ideas where she can watch the kids having a blast but won’t tire her out? She can’t handle elevation, so Tahoe is out.

Restaurant with a river in it near the Redwood Forest?

MirandaGardens — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 02:30:48 +0000

About 15 years ago I visited the Redwood Forest in California and we stopped in a restaurant that had a river inside the building. At the time the restaurant was not in operation, but they let my mom and I take a peek inside just becase my mother wanted me to see a piece of history. Apparently a lot of celebs hung out there way back when. Does anyone know what I’m talking about or where it was located? Thanks!

im deciding between sonoma state and humboldt state.
my mom wants me to go to sonoma, mostly because its closer (about an hour away).
*the pros:
close to home
sunny weather
nice dorms
better reputation

*cons:
-Rohnert Park (the town its in) is sooooo boring!it’s deff not a college town. its in the suburbs and all they have is like a bunch of chainstores. i HATE that kind of environment. and i heard the town is full of a bunch of old people who always call the cops
-commuter campus..half the people leave on weekends, which means i probably will. but i want to go to a college that will be my HOME not a home away from home.

Humboldt
pros:
-downright beautiful campus and area. redwood trees everywhere.
-the smell of fresh, clean air (lots of trees=more oxygen)
-people there are SO nice! just a bunch of chill people
-dont need a car because most things are within walking distance
-residential campus–it will be my home. and i hope to live in that area after i graduate.
-the town is very college friendly–its a college town! lots of college-centered things
-in general, i just love the town its in (Arcata, CA)
-the food is mostly organic and fresh (grown right in the area)

cons:
-bad weather–it rains most of the year :/ (although i dont really care)
-when people think humboldt, they think weed

im not too concerned about the reputations because im going into nursing and they dont really care where you graduate from, employers care more about the grades you got.

ugh!!so hard.
do i go to a school i downright love and cant wait to go to even though it rains
or
do i go to a school my parents favor thats closer to home and has nicer weather?

what would you do in my situation?

Where are good short drives to Nor Cal?

MirandaGardens — Wed, 26 May 2010 18:36:31 +0000

I live in Portland Oregon and my mom wants to spend no more then 8 hours driving to our summer vacation. I would like to get sun this summer as in go to So Cal but obviously that’s out of the question. She wants to go to some place up by Seattle in a rain forest, which would be cool only there is NOTHING there!! Im looking for some sunny places in Northern California that would accommodate both my mother and myself’s requirements. I want a beach with sun and shopping and she wants a short car ride. We have driven to Reno NV in a day and I wouldn’t mind doing that again. She would want to do this in a weekend. That means leaving either thursday night after work or early friday morning, and leaving either monday or sunday afternoon.

Inexpensive vacation in California??

MirandaGardens — Fri, 14 May 2010 21:21:12 +0000

My mom, my brother, and I NEED a vacation. My father recently passed away and we have had so much on us we are about to break down. We live in central California, about 2 – 3 hours away from Pismo Beach, Morro Bay, Atascadero, etc.. we have been there SO many times. I was born and raised here in this area and have hardly been anywhere else in California outside of what I just listed. I’ve been to a LOT of other states but never explored my own state. What are some nice calming vacation spots in California that are inexpensive? Do you think renting a hybrid car would be worth it to save money? Thanks!!
