Guide To Spending Holidays In California
Once you spend your holidays in California, you will never have any desire to go anywhere else again. California is the ultimate vacation spot. There is absolutely nothing that they do not have: beaches, mountains, wine country, sunshine all year, and the thriving culture of Hollywood. The best part of California is that it is very easy to visit as much of it as you can on your vacation, since it is all within a few hours of each other.
The ultimate Californian trip starts with the beach, of course. Almost all of California is within just several hours of the beach. However, one of the best spots to start is in San Diego. This thriving town in Southern California not only boasts of fantastic ocean views, it also has an exciting cultural scene. They are famous for their art galleries, zoos and ocean parks. Take a drive down the Pacific Coast Highway and look for sea lions.
Just a two hour drive inland is the mountain resort of your dreams, Big Bear Lake. They offer the greatest in skiing and winter sports. For anyone visiting in the summer, the place is just as beautiful, featuring water sports and camping near this pristine mountain lake.
Los Angeles is just a few hours away, and no trip to California is complete without this visit. Take in a concert, check out the cuisine, go to a basketball game at the world famous stadiums. Just a short drive from there is Hollywood, land of the rich and famous. Keep an eye out for movies being filmed or for celebrities out for a walk.
Napa Valley is not to be missed. It is the best of California's Wine Country, producing the majority of the state's vino. The vineyards are beautiful, and be sure to stop at a winery to taste their wine.
Holidays in California are full of endless possibilities. Take a trip out west and see for yourself!
