be kept busy or they can turn vacation time into hell time. One of the places
that offer interesting activities for kids all year long is San Mateo County.
Located in the San Francisco Bay area, the county features several museums,
parks, camp trails, play centers and the like. Here are some of the
places you can visit during your vacation in San Mateo:

the sun.
