California Dreamin' -- in January!

by londonlover - last update: Nov 28, 2004

Winter 2000 in California

Oceanside splendor
This was the first winter vacation I had ever taken--and what a trip! California is great anytime, but even better when you're coming from a place with 14 inches of snow on the ground! We spent most of our time in Southern California where my aunt lives, but also took a road trip up to Carmel-by-theSea and San Francisco.

Pictured her is the view from a turnoff on the Pacific Coast Highway between Los Angeles and Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Pros:"Gorgeous oceanscapes, great natural variety along the coast, great winter weather, Disneyland"
Cons:"Southern CA can be a bit too artificial and "plasticized" for this Midwestern girl :)"
In A Nutshell:"Unique, entertaining, and beautiful--pro's definitely outweigh the cons, especially if you don't live here!"

 Nice over view of California. I grew up there but after 30 years in Alaska it is hard to handle the crowds and artifice. Happy Birthday!

 I love listening to Drew play at DT Disney. I live about five minutes from there, so I try to see him at least once a week.

 I have also had frozen banana dipped in chocolate! VERY yummy indeed... but oh so naughty :) I would love to visit California one day.

 Hi Tara, I just had a frozen banana at Balboa Island. If you come back to So CA take a trip to San Juan Capistrano and check out the historical "Los Rios" section near the mission & behind the train depot! It's great! I enjoyed your pages, Kat
