You’ve been cooped up all week. The kids are bouncing off the walls. The whole family is in need of escape and some great nosh. Once again, Humboldt comes to the rescue! The whole family can blow off steam in a free-spirited game of laser tag. Win or lose, it matters not, as long as all have fun! A high walk among the tall trees can lift your spirits because losing to a 10 year old stings a bit.
Spotting stars here doesn’t just mean seeing Leonardo di Caprio, but the multi-armed denizens of a rocky tidal pool. Make a video for grandma of your toddler meeting the coolest bird on the playground — a massive egret — and losing their little mind. On the way home, chase those seasonal chills away with a steaming bowl of ramen. Wrap yourself up in what makes Humboldt, well, Humboldt.
