We make it a point to visit Hojas every time we're back in SoCal. There isn't a bad choice you can make here, but Charisma's favorite is the Lemongrass Bouquet and Kapil's is the Victorian Earl Grey.
We love taking walks here. In the morning, we've even seen dolphins!
This is one of the Hooda family's favorite hiking spots.
We've been on many cafe dates, and Philz is by far our favorite coffee spot. If you're flying in from LAX, do yourself a favor and grab a coffee on the way! If you're not, don't fear - they have other locations as well. Kapil's favorite is the Philtered Soul. Charisma cannot pick a favorite, they're all too good.
Our favorite beach in the area. Look out at the beautiful ocean and enjoy a churro from the pier! Caution: after one churro, you'll probably want another - they're really yummy.
We do a lot of shopping at this mall. Also fun fact: it's the 6th largest shopping mall in America
