Activities in the Bay Area

It’s no secret that the covid-19 has had a lot of impact on family trips and vacations. The good news is that with many people getting the vaccine, it’s safer to travel now. We are all more than happy to return to our normal activities, for a family that is spending time together, going on trips and vacations.
