Cecilia · Answer

San Diego: I saw Nathan posted SD, and I second! Born and raised in SD and had the most magical childhood. Ofc you gotta take her to the zoo, but what's just as cool is going tidepooling!

Nathan H. · Answer

San Diego: No pic needed. I lived here for many years. It’s still the best weather city in America to me. And it’s always fun to go back, visit fam and friends, and see how the city is moving now vs when I was there.

Jess · Answer

Chicago: I went to Chicago last fall and the Architecture River tour is one of my favorite things I’ve done on a trip! (Check dates for the marathon & Columbus Day parade - we accidentally hit both)

Catherine Davis · Answer

West Shore Lake Tahoe: Truly the best season in Tahoe- the tourists are gone but there’s still beautiful weather. Check out my profile for more Tahoe recs. And how special for both of you that you’re taking these trips together!
