This is a fun, local restaurant in downtown Bakersfield! You must try their milkshakes or chicken strips if you go :P
Shameless plug for my home church's thrift store. This a great store with many finds and all proceeds go to missions. Great stop after lunch at the 18hundred!
An entertaining spot for a quick date or to take kiddos that join you on your trip. There is bowling, an arcade, a beer garden, laser tag, a ropes course, and food options!
This is one of my favorite coffee shops in Bakersfield if you need a pick-me-up!
This is where we went on our first date before seeing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3. My Chipotle-loving boy said it's not the same but I think in some ways it's better ;)
If you have time for a beach trip, this is a Prior family favorite. I grew up going to this barn every year after a trip to Pismo Beach. Say hi to Rooftop Ralph for me if you go!
And last but not least, if you have a lot of extra time for a full-on vacation this is the place to go! It needs no introduction, just know I'm jealous if you go!
