The very first time Mitch & I ventured on this safari (March 2019), we not only saw whales but hundreds of dolphins that followed our boat for miles - it was definitely one of the coolest experiences we've ever had!
Although it's smaller than Disney World, Disneyland is such a fun time. I've been three times since we've lived in LA and each time is just as fun as the next!
Robert Renzoni has such a special place in our hearts as it's where we got engaged! Temecula is an amazing area filled with wineries, hot air balloon rides and more so we definitely recommend checking it out if you have the time.
We haven't actually made it to the Safari Park but we've heard great things about it! The San Diego Zoo (a different location) is also the best in the country so either one is a great place to spend with the family.
If you're up for some sightseeing - this "pirate tower" is supposed to be a hidden gem! The best picture opp time is during sunset. The tide is low and the sunset view from here is just stunning. Especially if you come at the time with big waves, the splashes from the wave hitting the rocks create a very dramatic effect on your photos. Getting there is a bit challenging as it’s hidden underneath a neighborhood. The best way to get here is to park your car along PCH next to Montage hotel and follow the beach access stairs of the hotel to the Victoria beach. Then from there walk about a quarter of a mile to get to the tower.
A desert park like no other in the country! The serenity is always such a welcomed feeling coming from the craziness of LA. This is where Mitch & I had our engagement photos taken!
Looking for a day at the spa? Glenn Ivy is the best day spa around with all sorts of pools, spas, treatments, and cocktails! It's a great spot for a girls day or a relaxing retreat for couples. Definitely recommend it if you have time!
Founded in 1776, this mission is a beautiful historical site in the middle of a quaint town with a bunch of shops & restaurants. Definitely recommend!
A biker bar open until midnight, just a half a mile from the venue. Convenient for any "after wedding" festivities.
