And that&#8217;s not to mention all the fantastic restaurants (The Must is a must!) and cool shops (The Last Bookstore). Another great place to visit is La Jolla in San Diego, which has very pretty beaches and amazing sunsets. Oh, and my hometown, Riverside, has the Festival of Lights during the holiday season.

It\u2019s a surfer\u2019s paradise, so if that\u2019s your vibe, then definitely make a trip to Southern California, where the surf rolls in perfectly. If you\u2019re looking for that iconic surf destination, then visit either Malibu Beach or Huntington Beach.<\/p>\n<p>Other highlights in California would have to be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Walking, jogging, skateboarding, or roller skating the beach promenades of Los Angeles, specifically Venice Boardwalk<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Explore the well-known hills of San Francisco and ride the cable cars up or down<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Picnicking in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and then marveling at the intricacies of the Japanese Tea Garden<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Take a boat tour to Alcatraz<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Walk the streets of the bohemian Haight-Ashbury neighborhood in San Francisco, once a spring of hippie culture<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Hike to the Hollywood Hills<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Visit the Hollywood Museum for a taste of the history of Hollywood<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Visit La Jolla beach town in San Diego and take a walk to the cliffs and tidal pools<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Take a trip to Legoland in San Diego to embrace your inner child<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>While I&#8217;ve taken many trips around California, my most recent favorite was our road trip to the ghost town of Bodie.\u00a0The tiny town of Bodie lies east of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in one of the most desolate regions of California.\u00a0Bodie has been left abandoned for the last 75 years but remains\u00a0preserved with homes, stores and even a school house filled with personal belongings.\u00a0What was once a booming mining town slowly declined into a desolate ghost town with the last of the population leaving in 1942. Bodie has since become a California State Park and is open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>The best advice I can give to a first-time traveller in California is to select\u00a0either Northern California or Southern California, but don&#8217;t try and see both on the same trip. Many people don&#8217;t realize it is a 6\u00a0hour drive from San Francisco to Los Angles.
