Where should I go in Northern CA? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

michiko · 07-26-2006, 04:40 PM

My Haruka and I probably will be traveling to Sacramento, CA for my birthday. I am debating if we should stay in MA or travel to CA. I am thinking about going to San Francisco, San Jose, Lake Taho.. something like that.. but this is not definite. I just wanted people's ideas where I could go with Haruka... I will be carrying her around everywhere I go (most likely) so.. any suggestions?

It doesn't have to be those three towns.. but somewhere that we can drive from Sacramento within 3 hours or so.

There's not a whole lot to do in San Jose...Winchester Mystery House, Santana Row, Santa Cruz is a 30 min drive from San Jose, that's a fun little area and the weather should still be fine in September.

Tahoe is BEAUTIFUL!
San Francisco is a great place to visit -- and there is a lot to do there.

If you're a city girl, San Francisco is a must-see. If you're a beach babe, you can drive along highway 1 to the north of San Francisco. If you're a mountain mama, go to Tahoe.

San Francisco is beautiful! There is a lot to do up there, lot of touristy things, especially if you've never been here. How long were you planning on visiting?

Im so jealous!! I went to Cali last summer and I LOOOOOVED every minute of it! Youll have a BLAST

michiko · 07-26-2006, 09:17 PM

I probably will go this Wednesday and come back on Monday...

Do you guys know any stores (for dog or can bring dog)... ? I am taking Haruka with me everywhere... So any fun place with a dog? I heard that SF is one of the dog friendly cities. I have been there with Guinness, but I bet this will be totally different experience with my own baby.

michiko · 07-26-2006, 09:17 PM

Oh but.. the trip will be for only weekend.. so.. it will be fri, sat, sun kinda of thing. Other days I will be in Sacramento.

LoveyB · 07-26-2006, 09:34 PM

If your gonna be in sacramento, lake tahoe is only about 2 hours from there and you would have a great time its gorgoeus there!!!!

LuvMySissy · 07-27-2006, 01:11 PM

I have no idea what stores/places in SF are dog friendly, but I loved the city when I've visited. So much shopping, so little time!!

Patti · 07-27-2006, 01:19 PM

Michiko Take me with please!!!lol

If you go to SF through Marin on 101 stop at the Village shopping center. It is an outdoor shopping center and you can take your pup into any of the stores. I take my Kobe every time I go shopping there! SF is also pretty dog friendly, if you have your pup in a purse you should be good in any of the shopping areas. Union Street is fun and has cute outdoor places to eat or get coffee and you can bring your baby into most stores.

Napa is fun too and also extemely dog friendly. There is a fun doggy store called the Vineyard Dog right downtown Napa. Some of the wineries even allow dogs in the tasting rooms and at Mumm they sell dog souveniers, that is where I buy Kobe's Napa lavendar dog shampoo.

I live in Sac and there isn't much that I have that is fun to do with him and it is so HOT right now! There are some Yorkie meetups though so if you know what dates you are going to be here I can tell you where they are.

There are some nice places to go walking though and Tahoe is only 2 hours which is beautiful!

I highly recommend San Francisco. The city is dog friendly in many places. Also check out the www.meetup.com for the yorkie meetups that take place once a month. What a great way for you and your dog. Also, the city is beautiful.....

I agree SF is the most dog friendliest place to go. They topped out number 1 I believe in the most dog friendliest place in the U.S, pets are just about welcomed everywhere in SF even in some food places. They will not say anything to you. I know because I live a little over an hour away from SF and go there often and I see people eating with their dogs in McDonalds

nobody says nothing to them.

It does get very cold there so bring lots of doggie sweaters
