Visiting the San Juan Capistrano MissionHaving grown up in California, one of my favorite memories is of our 4th grade Mission Project. Each student was given a mission to research and then a model and report were completed. My parents also took each of us to the mission we were studying so we got to have a first hand experience there.
Visiting Knott's Berry Farm Marketplace...If you are looking for a fun and less expensive adventure while in California, spend some time at Knott's Berry Farm Marketplace. It is home to Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant (which started it all in 1934). Known for its fried chicken and amazing airy biscuits, the restaurant alone is worth the visit.

Visiting the La Brea Tar Pits (Page Museum)On a recent trip to California, my mom and I decided to visit the La Brea Tar Pits, in Los Angeles. I had been to it a few times as a kid, so I thought it would be fun to go back. It's a fun yet educational place to take the whole family.
Travel Tips for Hollywood, CAOld Hollywood is all around you in downtown Hollywood. Avoid the tours and take a walking tour down Hollywood Blvd. from Sunset and Vine to Hollywood and Highland and then take in Grauman's Chinese Theater and the footprints.
