Winter Fest OC is one of my family’s favorite Christmas attractions. It’s hard to beat the snow play and tubing hill (in Orange County especially) for the kids and for me as well. We usually go early in the season to avoid the crowds and let us know what you think in the comments if you have been!
Wild Lights at The Living Desert is one of those unique Southern California Christmas events. You get a fun loop of displays, a handful of great photo areas, and some animal viewing, depending on the night. It’s an easy hour or two with the whole family and it’s great for holiday cheer. If you go this year, let me know how your experience was in the comments
Spent the evening wandering the Cambria Christmas Market and it really does feel like a holiday gem on the Central Coast. Light tunnels, good food, and that mix of cool air and warm hot cocoa that makes you want to stay a bit longer. I am glad I finally made it after all these years of wanting to go. Have you visited??
Can you take a day trip from LA to San Francisco?

We left LA in the morning and by breakfast we were walking along the San Francisco waterfront. It’s so easy to hop on a short flight and find yourself in a city with cable cars, sourdough bread bowls, and the Golden Gate Bridge.

In just one day we:
* Rode a cable car
* Walked the Filbert Steps to Coit Tower
* Admired the Golden Gate Bridge
* Snacked at Boudin and Ghirardelli Square
* Explored the Palace of Fine Arts
* Listened to the Wave Organ

I will have a full video on this trip soon, and what is your favorite place in San Francisco?
Looking to plan the perfect day at? Here’s our full itinerary. #sponsored

* Start the day with the touch pools. The cleaner fish are especially awesome!
* Head to the new jellyfish exhibit, where you can see them up close.
* Catch a presentation. We loved the Orca Encounter and the Dolphin Adventures Presentation.
* Spend some time on the rides. My kids’ favorite was Shipwreck Rapids!
* Meet a sea lion and get the chance to interact with them and even feed them some fish.
* End the day with more rides, checking out one of the restaurants, or riding the Sky Tower.

There is more to do than you can in a day, so consider getting an annual pass to relive the adventure again and again all year long.

What’s your favorite attraction at SeaWorld?
We just did a day trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco and had a great time exploring the city over the course of 10 hours. As much as I try to avoid LAX, it’s nice to have so many flight options here to go pretty much anywhere. What your first reaction when you hear LAX?
Happy 4th of July everyone!
