21000 Big Basin Way
Saratoga, California

"One of the cutest places I have ever been"
Sometimes the nicest places are close to home. This is how I feel about the Hakone Gardens. It is one of those perfect places to take your family and enjoy the simple pleasures of life: observing the nature and being happy just for the sake of being there and together.
They have picnic tables and the cherry trees in blossom are not to be missed. I have to say that the gardens are beautiful year round.

Point Lobos State Reserve
Carmel, California

"Beautiful hikes"
You can never get enough of Point Lobos. The views are splendid. Between the ocean and the mountains, every member of the family will be able to find their favorite corner of paradise. I agree with the precedent review about the poison oak, be careful.

2400 London Ranch Road
Glen Ellen, California

"Great outdoors and museum"
This is defintely one of our family favorites. You have a beautiful park and you are following Jack London steps and life while enjoying the nature. You will visit a museum where you see some of his belongings, his beloved home that was destroyed by a fire, another home where he passed away facing beautiful landscape, and his grave. All these places are not close to one another but they are definitely not far. Bring a picnic, picnic tables are just outside of the entrance.
