California Dreamin'

First thing saturday morning me and my suitcase are getting on a plane all the way to California. I'll be away for 10 days and staying with my lovely married couple friends, Allee and Jesse. They live on a boat in Chula Vista and I can't wait. I'll be staying in San Diego and in LA and I wondered if you have any tips for things we should do or places we should go. Camping, watching ice hockey and going to see the orchestra are all things already on the agenda. The photo was taken last time I went to stay with them, when they lived in Santa Cruz. I'm so excited.

    My husband and I visited San Diego last May. We did a kayak tour of the caves in La Jolla. It was a blast, not the type of thing we usually do. The weather may not be right for that kind of thing now.

    They are also famous for their zoo, and there are a couple of nice museums at Balboa Park also.

    Have a safe trip and a very enjoyable stay!

    You should visit Farmers Market when you visit LA and Venice Beach

    oh yay! have a wonderful time here in the USA! Try to visit La Jolla if you can - it's absolutely gorgeous :)

    I hope you get nice weather & sunshine out on the west coast during your visit.

    I vote for the zoo. It IS amazing!
    Balboa park is pretty awesome too.
    A few years ago I visited a friend that lived there and we found out that on occasional Tuesdays (?) some of the places are free. I don't know if they still do that but that's how we got into the museum! Free is always nice!

    Shopping at Seaport Village. Seaworld. Balboa Park and the Zoo. Ocean Beach. Coronado Island. Crossing on the Coronado Bay Bridge. I love all these things about San Diego.

    Old Town is lots of fun. A bit touristy but you can buy freshly made tortillas on the street. Yum!

    Just come by your blog for the first time and what a beautiful person you are to do such a lovely thing. To think your art is all over the world making people smile.
    I hope you have a lovely time in CA, I have been a couple of times as my Mom is from there, couldn't suggest alot cause we always do family visiting, but make sure you see the beach.

    Oooh . . . I'd say you can't miss Balboa Park, too.

    At Los Angeles: just for old time's sake I'd drive Mulholland Drive all the way from Cahuenga Pass to Sepulveda (beyond there it used to become a dirt road). . . at night!

    And in the daytime Mulholland Highway from Woodland Hills to Leo Carrillo state beach and return along Pacific Coast Highway through Zuma Beach, Malibu and Topanga beach . . . but then you're not me and you may not like driving.

    Bon voyage.

    Alan
