We did not go to Disneyland, nor Universal Studios, nor Sea World, nor Hollywood Sunset sigrid

We did not go to Disneyland, nor Universal Studios, nor Sea World, nor Hollywood Sunset sigrid & marina Strip, nor Santa Monica Beach, nor drive from LA to San Francisco via scenic route Highway 1 or also known as Pacific Coast Highway (passing Hearst Castle, Carmel by the sea, Monterey Bay, and Big Sur), nor walk Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco, nor Napa Valley and the wine country. Been there, done that.
From Los Angeles, we drove to Mariposa, California, a small town at the foothill of Sierra Nevada. The original town site was founded as a mining camp during the “gold rush” period. We stayed there for 2 nights and made it our home base as we explore Yosemite.
Yosemite is a breathtakingly beautiful place. It is one of the first wilderness parks in the US and covers 1,200 square miles. It is best known for its waterfalls, which is best seen during spring and early summer.
Driving back home to Los Angeles, we drove through Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. The drive was through steep, winding and narrow roads over cliffs and canyons that will humble the Kennon Road to Baguio (summer capital of the Philippines). The landscape includes layers sigrid & marina upon layers of mountains, deep canyons, and the world’s largest trees.
"General Sherman." A giant sequoia that is considered the largest tree in the world. Although it stopped growing upward, it continues to increase by girth. It is estimated to be 2,300 to 2,700 years old.

You should go, it will be worth it. 3-4 hours drive is nothing. Commute from Manila to Marikina can even take 3 hours already due to traffic. You will not be disappointed. I mean going to Yosemite….not sigrid & marina Marikina.
