Road Trip: Can You Guess Our Destination?

My kids are on Spring Break right now and low and behold I have found myself with no plans. Zero. Nada. Nothing. This is not the first time this has happened to me. So on a whim and a prayer, I'm taking my kids on an overnight adventure. By myself. I have a sweet new ride (more on that later) and we are leaving as soon as I hit publish.

So here's where you come in. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to guess where we are going. Here are you hints:

  • I live in or around San Mateo, Ca. Where we are going is close enough to drive there and back in one day, but I am choosing to spend the night in a hotel, because why not?
  • It will take us about two hours to get there. I am taking the scenic route, which will take us about 20 minutes longer.
  • Our destination is close to a major body of water.
  • Our destination is home to a major tourist attraction that is considered to be one of the most respected of it's kind.
  • I've mentioned this tourist attraction on my blog in the past.

So take a guess! The first three commenters to guess correctly will win a small trinket from our mini trip. You odds are pretty good since I usually get about 5-6 comment per post.
Assuming our hotel has wifi, I'll announce the answer tonight. Good luck.

My guess is Monterey Bay Aquarium. We always try to stop there on the way home from camping near Santa Cruz.

Monterey Bay Aquarium?

I don't know CA geography AT ALL, and I'm not going to google/cheat...so I'd guess Lego Land, except I don't see how it could be 'respected'...so I'm guessing Kim is right - Monterey Bay Aquarium? If so, trinket in the form of any kind of penguin would be perfect for my toddler. :)

My first thought was somewhere near Redwoods and then I searched and found the aquarium in Monterey Bay and saw that you have in fact written about it before. And then I saw everyone else had already guessed the same thing.

Regardless of where you are I hope you are having a good time!

without peeking at other's comments (until I clicked through), I'm guessing Monterey Bay Aquarium, too! Hope you have fun!

I'm going to go with Santa Cruz...just to be different. Even though I know good and well exactly how long it takes to get there from your house.

I hope you all have a blast.

I also think Monterey Bay Aquarium

Jill said...

Okay ... no clue here. So let me go with something different than everyone else. Bonny Dunes?

And totally dig your new ride! Swoon.
