Technically, you cannot go into the offices but you can check out the Google store, gift shop, cafe, big art plaza, and workshops. There is free parking at the garage nearby which is a piece of art itself. You can either take the shuttle which arrives every 15 minutes or walk about 7-10 minutes to the Google canopy. Once you arrive, you'll see the different parts that you can explore. My favorite 2 things to do there is the cafe which has so many inexpensive food and drink options and also the big artwork along the plaza. Even on crowded days, the big artwork is easy to check out and take pictures. I love the big white orb which is a massive twisted, metal sculpture that looks futuristic and very cool inside and outside. The bear is cute also because it is made completely out of pennies! You won't be disappointed by the big, fun, whimsical and spectacular big art at Google. It's like a free outdoor museum. My other favorite part of the experience is the cafe. Ordering is simple and the menu changes often. The cafe uses ingredients from a lot of local farms and bakeries. It keeps the menu quite cheap as most items are under $15 and even under $10! That is unheard of nowadays. Try the potato soup and you'll thank me. It is creamy, addictive and do yourself a favor and get the big bowl. The sandwiches are top notch and they use Acme bread which is already an awesome treat. After the art, the store, the cafe; you can easily take a hike to Shoreline and check out the amazing views from the top of the hill as well. So check out the Google Visitor Experience and it has much more to offer than other Silicon Valley experiences.

What would your dream trip to Paris include? I had a dream trip, told Celine Glon of Et Voila Paris…read moreabout it, and she made it happen. I had very specific ideas. I'm a writer and have just finished the first draft of a mystery novel that involves the life of Georges Bizet, composer of the opera, Carmen. I wanted to go to Paris and various places there to see where Bizet lived and worked so I could add such settings to my book. Celine made an itinerary for me, got me wonderful guides to drive me to these places and to tell me about their histories and even explore with me. NOT ONLY THAT, Celine got me introduced to people knowledgeable about Bizet, and she got me into places where people normally can't go. For example, there is a house in the town of Bougival near Paris where Bizet lived when he wrote Carmen. Celine got me a private tour of this privately owned house (not open to the public) AND an introduction to a board member of a society that promotes art and artists as part of the memory of Georges Bizet. She also got me introduced to a gentleman who speaks excellent English and who is extremely knowledgeable about classical music and opera so he could go with me to meet with the board member and see the home. There are many other things I could mention about the Bizet part of the trip, like my private tour of the Opera Comique (where Carmen opened in 1875) and lunch with the Comique's dramaturge. Again, the Opera Comique is not open to the public for such tours, but Celine arranged it all. Celine also booked me private guides to take me other places just for fun, such as Chantilly, which has the biggest collection of French paintings after the Louvre, and Malmaison, the home of Josephine and Napoleon Bonaparte. I could go on and on, but that would make this review too long. I'll close by saying that I would recommend Celine to anyone, including my closest family and friends. I trust her totally to come up with customized trips that will fit any needs. I highly recommend her. She has a million connections and I can see she is an expert in the art of making people's dreams come true in Paris and all over France.

San Francisco has phenomenal views such as Alcatraz, restaurants that serve fresh clam chowder and sushi right on the pier and a lot of different activities like The Cruise Around The Bay. If you're looking for some shops, make your way down to Market St. to see some of the most popular shops such as Channel, and your favorite Louis Vuitton :), YSL and Bloomingdale's. As you pass over the mountains, you'll be greeted by a stunning view of the ocean leading to Sausalito, a small town near San Francisco that is beautiful and calming, great for a massage overlooking the ocean.There is also Napa, it's very famous for it's wineries and scenic views. Henry's Tour is very fun to be on; it has a very personal feel because the tour guide, makes it fun and romantic! I recommend this tour to anyone who is from a windy city such as Chicago because you will truly enjoy the amazing warm weather and beautiful scenery not to mention have fun with my uncle.:) Feel free to contact me on @PrincessHanita - Twitter or www.Facebook.com/PrincessHanita

It was nice and quiet, clean and signs were posted at communal areas (restrooms/sink) to remind everyone to social distance and wear a mask (however not everyone wore masks ) It was really beautiful being surrounded by the Redwood trees and fresh air! We went on a nice hike, not difficult but doable for beginners. They had a basketball court, tennis court, volleyball, soccer and baseball field to use. We brought our own basketball but I believe you can check one out at the office. It's great for all ages My only complaint and it's not against the camp at all, it's that there were so many mosquitos! So be prepared if you're like me, I ALWAYS get eaten alive !! Bring your bug spray , lotion etc.... Definitely a place to check out in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Elkins, of the park staff was the best part of the trip. She helped us with our campfire and checked in on us across our multiple nights there. (This rating gets it's positive stars due to her hospitality!) This is a privately operated camping operation inside the big basin state park. So if you want to donate/do good for the state parks system, go for big basin redwoods state park. The firewood here is extremely expensive at $17 per 0.9 cubic feet. (compared to $5 at a safeway in the regular bay area). Even Big Basin Redwoods State Park Visitor Gift Shop had their firewood (same brand and size) for $13 so there's some clear gouging here. (-1 star) The road from Big Basin's road to Little Basin is horrible with lots of potholes for ~3 miles. (-1 star)

Not a smart move: Still, I didn't want driving another fifteen more miles driving back to San Gregorio looping through La Honda Road's outback, remote road in order, arriving at the Township of Pescadero! Just not right. Observing, looking back where I just drove through the flooding, I began sweating BRICKS realizing the water was truly like a rushing river with wavy, WHITE CAPS~EEEK! I surely hope Pescadero will build a little bridge over that proverbial flood zone because that's totally unsafe and precariously putting people into the throws of Harm's Way!
