Golden Gate Bridge
CALIFORNIA
Visiting a bridge may not be that exciting. However, the people who agree with that misconception usually have yet to see or drive across the Golden Gate Bridge. The team that built the bridge first broke ground in January of 1933 after an overflow of setbacks and hurdles.
The two primary cables on the bridge are the visual highlights of this masterpiece – especially since they are more than 7,650 feet long and help more than 27,500 parallel wires stay connected. Remember to park at the Northeast Side Parking Lot to walk across the bridge. Otherwise, you can enjoy the scenic drive across and then head for the Golden Gate Trailer Park or Marin Park for overnight accommodations.

Death Valley Super Bloom
CALIFORNIA
The name “Death Valley” truly fits most of California’s areas. However, a “super bloom” occurs at least once every decade when a beautiful shower of pink, purple, and yellow wildflowers emerges from nowhere. A photograph does not do this marvel any justice; it must be experienced firsthand. During your retirement years, you can see it for yourself and enjoy the ambiance of the mountainscape.
You can camp within the Death Valley National Park or even the Furnace Creek Campground for a cozy and comfortable place to spend the night.
