Things to do in California

[Hoboscouts]

California is one of the most traveled to states in the U.S. If you are a person who likes to to be the first to experience the latest technology many months before anyone else California is the way to go. Some of the many things to do and see are:

1.Yosemite National Park- Great for the whole family, it is visited by over 3.5 million people a year. If you like beautiful scenery you will love this park.

2.Disney Land- The place to go if you have kids, a great place to meet all of the disney characters like Mickey mouse, and Daffy Duck. Something you and your kids will rember forever.

3.Los Angeles Lakers- If you like basketball go see a Lakers game to see players like Kobe Bryant.

4.Berkley Art Museum- Located at the University of California has a database of over 12,000 film notes on world cinema.

I've mentioned this before, but I just love Palm Springs. It has a really cool museum called the Palm Springs Desert Museum. It's a good place to learn about the celebrities who were drawn to the desert. Palm Springs also has a nice art museum, and of course the Palm Springs Follies. The show features some amazing shows and costumes--and everyone who performs is a senior citizen. It's pretty cool, actually.

California is one of the largest states, and it offers a ton of things to do for visitors as well as locals all over the state, from Yosemite to the Sequoia Forest to the gorgeous beaches and beautiful weather in Southern California. Here's another forum thread, where people are offering advice on outdoor places to go and things to do.

Few places on earth have as much to do as California. I love how different communities feel totally different. San Diego is nothing like Palm Springs, which is nothing like San Francisco or Sacramento. :)

California is definitely something special. One of my favorite areas is the wine country in Central California. Not Napa or Sonoma (obviously those are nice too), but down in the Santa Ynez Valley and around Paso Robles, which is a great little town near many wineries & with some outstanding restaurants, particularly Artisan and Villa Creek.

Paso Robles is relatively near San Luis Obispo, though it's easier to just stay in Paso rather than driving in from SLO every day to wine taste, or you can stay in Santa Barbara and try the wines around Santa Maria.
