# 6 - CALIFORNIA DUET - SILICON VALLEY AND SONOMA GETAWAY
Your immediate family will bask in the Northern California sunshine for 8 nights in high tech Silicon Valley and family friendly Sonoma County .
Start your adventure with a two night stay at the luxurious Four Seasons Silicon Valley in Palo Alto , home to Stanford University , and the economic focal point of Silicon Valley . Amazingly , SAA has made arrangements for you to meet two long time Googlers for a private tour , not available to the general public , of their headquarters “ Googleplex ” featuring Stan the T . Rex , a replica of Spaceship One , and other curiosities followed by lunch at a Google Cafe . Also consider a self-guided visit to Google ’ s Visitor Center and the Android Sculpture Garden .
Typically closed to the public , you will be the guest of the Director of Finance at Apple Headquarters . With Apple on track to be America ’ s first trillion dollar company , feel free to ask questions that would make Steve Jobs take notice . Afterwards , perhaps a visit to The Company Store is in order , to purchase Apple branded clothing and accessories , exclusive to the Apple campus . With your remaining time in the area , you may want to drive by the HP Garage , roam the Stanford campus , or visit the Computer History Museum , Intel Museum , or NASA ’ s Ames Research Center to complete your high tech tour .
On Day Three , head north to beautiful Santa Rosa in the heart of Sonoma , where you will relax for 7 days / 6 nights in a private , four bedroom home with stunning hilltop views , just minutes from the historic center of downtown . Spend your days hiking , biking , or swimming at Annadel State Park , a short walk away .
