Moon’s offices are based in California—Berkeley, to be exact. So it’s no surprise the Golden State has a special place in our hearts.
This season, we’re releasing six new and fully updated editions to several popular California destinations: Coastal California , Tahoe, Monterey & Carmel, Northern California, Southern California and California Beaches.
To celebrate, we’re giving away a copy of Moon Monterey & Carmel, along with four tickets (admission for two adults and two children) to the world-class Monterey Bay Aquarium! A special thanks to the aquarium for generously providing the tickets.
To enter, submit your full name, mailing address, and phone number (for shipping purposes only) to giveaway [at] moon [dot] com by midnight on October 18th. One winner will be selected at random and announced on the staff blog the week of October 19th.
In addition to the giveaway, California trip ideas, and guest blog posts by Liz Hamill Scott—author of several of Moon’s California guides—can be found all this week on the site. We hope you will enjoy our special tribute to California and do a little California dreamin’ of your own.
