The Happiest Place on Earth! We went here Dec 2016, went on fifteen rides and got churros! We recommend it. Oh, and the Dole whip ice cream at the Tiki Room. THE BEST.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Need we say more? We're planning to get a group together to go at some point around the wedding- let us know if you want to join us!
If you want to put on your own production of La La Land, make the trek up to Griffith Observatory- you won't be disappointed! It's really close to the infamous Hollywood sign and not far from many other classic LA sights to be seen.
We are annual pass holders and love to go visit the animals! There is also a sister Safari Park a little farther north in Escondido- both are worth a look!
Beautiful park (where we took our engagement photos!) with the historic San Diego vibe. Check out the Museum of Man or walk around the colorful Spanish Village Art Center!
The first brewery we checked out in San Diego. Very fun atmosphere and near a lot of other hot spots.
Gourmet ice cream after your beer!
If you're able to make the trek out to Arizona (it's an 8 hour drive from us), visiting the Grand Canyon is one of those bucket list things. We stayed in an Airbnb in Flagstaff (about an hour drive from the south rim), but there are hotels closer- they're just quite pricey. Feel free to ask us for any tips!
We spent a weekend in Palm Springs after making it to California and spent a day at Joshua Tree. Worth taking a look if you're out that way at all!
