We kicked off the trip by driving from San Francisco to Santa Barbara — the coastal drive was scenic and relaxing. Santa Barbara offered gorgeous sunsets, delicious dinners (we loved Sama Sama Kitchen and Super Rica Taqueria), and ample time to explore or simply chill. Back in San Francisco, our days were filled with sightseeing, catching up with loved ones, and trying brilliant restaurants like Wildseed, Shizen and Burma Love. A highlight was the tech campus drive in Cupertino and Palo Alto, and of course, the wine tasting day trip to Napa Valley. Ending with rooftop drinks and a visit to Berkeley University added the perfect farewell to a beautiful California experience.
