California Academy of Sciences – San Francisco
The California Museum of Sciences is a magnificent structure, by Architect Renzo Piano, that houses the Kimball Natural History Museum, Steinhart aquarium, the Morrison planetarium AND a tropical forest habitat! The reptile collection is worth coming alone – even if just for Claude the albino alligator!

Big Sur Coast – California
Big Sur is a beautiful, rugged 100-mile stretch on California’s central coast, running between Carmel and San Simeon.
The name “Big Sur” is derived from the original Spanish-language “el sur grande”, meaning “the big south”, and invokes images full of winding turns, seaside cliffs and views of the often-misty ocean.

Los Angeles – Honorable Mention
There were a few spots in LA that really brightened our day, though we were not able to explore enough to get a full vision. If you’re in the area, they are definitely worth a look.
