Everywhere you turn is something wonderful to learn about through play and interaction. Not only that but by interacting with the various activities they offer, you help others to learn, as well. The Exploratorium may be dedicated to science, but at times it can seem downright magical. It has a way of making you feel young at heart, regardless of your age.

The regular tour takes you through 110 of the 160 rooms found in this beautiful mansion, and the tour guides are friendly and knowledgeable, with many wonderful stories to share. The grounds outside of the house are wonderful, too, filled with gardens and a carriage house and other great things for kids to see and explore. And if you watch closely, maybe you’ll even catch a glimpse of Sarah Winchester!Winchester House in San Jose - a tourist spot to check outI’ve been on this tour without my daughter as she doesn’t love scary stuff. It was interesting but unfortunately, you can’t take photos inside the house but you can take photos outside. The grounds themselves are quite lovely and can make for a good spot for an impromptu family photo. I was there in the summer, just remember San Jose is warm that time of the year so I would go in the morning with kids and make sure to have water on hand.Winchester House in San Jose - a tourist spot to check out

    This area was one of our very favorite vacations.
    Flew into San Fran with all out camping, hiking gear.
    Toured for a month the entire northern California area…into Tahoe, Yosemite, Half Moon Bay…the whole coastal road to redwoods to Oregon. Trip of a lifetime and so different from Florida. San Fran was awesome too.
    And cheap to do for a month.

My entire family has always been a fan of any type of animal and my son his grown-up the same way. This maybe recommendations for kids places to go but I also recommended for adults as well

    I sure did pin this! When we traveled to California, most of our friends suggested for us to visit the southern part, like Huntington Beach and Los Angeles. The northern area wasn’t even mentioned even though I am a huge Clint Eastwood fan and would have liked to have seen some of the places The Dirty Harry movies were taped! I would have loved to have gone to Alcatraz! Also The Exploratorium. This place reminds me of one of my favorite places in Chicago- The Museum of Science and Industry. Chicago offers a couple of places similar to San Francisco. I think I’d have as much fun at these places then the kids would!! I did pin this for another visit. Thank you for sharing!

    We obviously missed some great places whilst we were in the area, the underground gardens should have been a must and we only saw Alcatraz from the shore line. I’d have loved to have visited the Winchester Mystery House too, sigh!

    We’d love a vacation in Northern California. My favorite of these would be the Sequoia Park Zoo!

Oh yes it's getting to be that time of the year wh Oh yes it's getting to be that time of the year where we'll start spending more time outside enjoying the weather, grilling and the longer days of light and so much more. ☀️⛱ SponsoredI may have gotten a head start as we went camping for the first time this year and this really reminded me of how I love to sit outside and enjoy a good campfire or one in our firepit in our backyard and enjoying the quiet of the evening and stars twinkling in the night sky. 🌠⭐It also brings up memories of good food, grilled food my favourite kind with all those fun and delicious marinades, rubs and sauces to dress up and enhance the flavour of your food. Stay tuned for my upcoming recipe that has a delicious and creamy lemon sauce with chicken cooked in a #castiron pan. 🍋🍳I've teamed up with @ChickenDotCA to give one lucky winner an Outdoor Wood Burning Round Cooking Pit for the month of April.

Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and just got back. We took both of our dogs with us and we think we broke them 😆 #CleoTheDog & #NyxTheDog were both soooo tired by around 8:30pm each night that they would go to our trailer door & look at ys waiting to be let in 😁 while we continued to enjoy our campfire 🔥It was great to unplug there is no cell service let alone internet where we go so we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We are lucky to live in #BeautifulBC. Swipe to see our 📷  more beautiful nature photos to come soon. 🌿🌼#camping #PNW #nature #naturephotography #pnwwonderland #pnwlife #forest #greatoutdoors #campfire #Chilliwack  #chilliwackbc  #FraserValley
