Thanks for the info guys. I appreciate it...
There seems to be a plethora of amusement parks in the area based on simple web searching. As for shopping -- which would be the wife's forte' -- where would you all recommend? Nothing 'ritzy' but more the 'outlet mall' type of scene. This trip is more for her than me -- I'm just a tag along.
Honestly, my idea of a good time is going to be to sleep until noon, go eat a simple breakfast and maybe enjoy a Starbuck's coffee, and then roam around aimlessly with little to no agenda. Any cool state parks within a normal drive? Looking at Maps & Streets, it appears that there's a couple of places near Seal Beach and Westminster? Is Long Beach worth hitting -- I'm a huge Snoop fan
. LMAO!
