today I found out one of my really good friends from high school is coming to visit!
she is coming from January 3 until the 8th and I am so excited.
now that I know I have a visitor on the way - I started to think about everything I want her to see and do - the things I love about southern California
here are some of the ideas I came up with;
maybe it will be helpful for some of you if you come to SoCal one day.
Locally:
Top of the World, Laguna Beach, CA
{ my favorite hiking spot and views in all of Laguna }
Irvine Spectrum Center, Irvine, CA
{ great shopping and restaurants }
Shaw's Cove, Laguna Beach, CA
{ my favorite beach spot in Laguna }
A Scenic and Short Drive Away:
Downtown Disneyland, Anaheim, CA
{ House of Blues, Fox Sports Grill, and Disney princesses - need I say more? ;) }
thankfully this is an extremely short drive from home.
Gaslamp District, Downtown San Diego, CA
{ cute shops, restaurants, and lounges }
Santa Barbara, CA
{ my best friend is about to move here so we may pay her a visit - and SB is just beautiful }
The Grove, Los Angeles, CA
{ I normally try to avoid venturing into Los Angeles - I realize that sounds crazy - but some places people just have to see }
