Questions for NorCal residents
Unfortunately my fun plan of an RV trip to visit a few Northern California colleges during the kids spring break isn't going to work out, but we will still make the drive up and stay in an Airbnb for a few days. We'd like to stay about midway between Sacramento and San Jose, so that one day we can go east to see UC Davis and drive by the capitol building (for DS2's interest), and another day drive southwest to see Stanford. We'll hopefully also be able to see DH's cousin for a covid safe visit (she lives in east bay), plus maybe Muir Woods, and since we're there we may as well see Berkeley even though it isn't on DS1's list. I'm thinking we should look for a house in east bay? maybe Vallejo? Berkeley? Any advice on where we should or should not stay? I'm a very light sleeper so I want it to be quiet at night but with some room for the kids to have separate beds, and our own kitchen to minimize outside food. But since we'll be out driving around each day, we'd like to stay somewhere that is convenient to the highways, has a bigger grocery store, has parking, etc. We know most college campuses are still closed for covid- we can get a decent feel for the campus itself online and driving around, but DS1 really wants to see the surrounding areas to see if it's where he'd want to live for 4+years.
