<p>OP - Would you consider doing Christmas Break in Fargo … rather than California? Sleigh rides at the Hjemkomst Center, George Pfiefer exhibit at the Roarke Museum … practically gives me chills just thinking about it! No? You’re sticking with California?</p>
<p>I’d add my voice to those who say California is a B-I-G state. LA to SF is the same driving distance as New York City to the North Carolina state line. How about arriving Las Vegas, and driving north to Virginia City (home of the Comstock Lode) and Lake Tahoe. From there Route 80 will take you to SF Bay Area, where there are PLENTY of outdoor activities.</p>
