Local Travels?

A couple of dear friends and I have decided that while we're currently unable to plan extravagant trips to exotic, distant venues, we will explore the interesting, kitschy, and/or lovely sights in our own Bay Area backyard.

Here's a short list we came up with of some of the places we'd like to go:
-Golden Gate Park
-Monterey/Pacific Grove
-Hearst Castle
-Sacramento Old Town
-Sacramento Capital area
-49 mile scenic drive through SF
-90 minute walk through the Marin headlands
-Filoli
-Winchester Mystery House
-Coastal drive
-Colma (who doesn't love a city with more dead people than living?)

We already crossed one item off our list since brainstorming - the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose.

As a fan of all things Egyptian since a young age I can't believe it's taken me this long to visit a museum, dedicated to Egypt, which is so close to home.

It was a lovely day and we spent over 2 hours wandering through the 4 exhibit halls.  I found it fascinating and  was only a little creeped out by the cat mummies (somehow I found them more disturbing than the people mummies?!?).

Sarah...in a window (she's there...you just have to look really hard)

What's next?
