[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Drive up the coast and check out state parks, Nature, hiking [/quote]

This -- I'm a native Californian from the Bay Area and even after nearly 30 years on the east coast I'm always amazed that people here don't appreciate how much of what makes California special is the abundant and varied natural beauty.  I mean, I'm a fan of many cities, including LA (cue Randy Newman here), but you miss so much if you're just going to the tourist attractions --  especially if you're doing that drive up to Monterey with a 7 y.o., you're gonna need to get out of the car and run around a little bit.  Going north from LA check out Will Rogers SP and Mandeville Canyon.  [b]Santa Barbara has a beautiful botanical garden and several great parks, including one with a mega climbing structure for kids  (maybe somebody here can remember the details on this or just google).  [/b]Carpinteria is one of my favorite little beach towns along the SoCal coast.  Continuing north Morro Bay is a great spot for kayaking.  Near Big Sur, there are two beautiful state parks, Julia Pfeiffer Burns SP (do the waterfall trail) and Andrew Molera SP.     [/quote]
