On my second annual Columbus Day weekend trip to California I went to visit some of my best friends who got the bug and moved out there. Needless to say I had a fantastic time and I cannot wait for Columbus Day 2016 to get here!

I was lucky enough to visit while I was there:

• The Painted Ladies
• Smitten Ice Cream
• Palace of Fine Arts
• Golden Gate Bridge
• Big Sur
• Apple Headquarters (wasn’t on the plan but I put it there)
• Castro District
• Carmel-by-the-Sea
• Trefethen Vineyards
• Andretti Winery
• Turnbull Winery
• UC Botanical Gardens
• Sutro Baths
• Ocean Beach
• Twin Peaks Park
