Hi This will be our first trip to California and we are VERY excited about it!
We'll be doing 6 Flags, Yosemite, Bodie, visiting family in Lodi, Napa Valley Wine train, San Francisco, down the coast to Huntington Beach and ending with a few days in DL.
The planning is going pretty good so far but we are a bit stumped on our San Francisco down the coast to Huntington Beach portion.
Here are the places that we have had reccomended to us to visit on this stretch...
Santa Cruz Boardwalk
Monterey
Carmel
Big Sur
San Simeon and Hearst Castle
Santa Barbara
Santa Monica Pier
We just don't know how much time we will want to spend in each location and if some of those spots will need to be cut out, nor do we know what to do in each location.
We will leave San Fran early on a Tuesday morning
We will need a mid way point to spend the night
We will plan to arrive at Huntington Beach by dinner on Wednesday.
This will take place August 19th and 20th and we are also open to suggestions on where to stay by Huntington Beach or if there is a better beach close by we are flexible. We want what's best and our daughter wants to learn to surf while we are there.
If anyone is familiar with this area and has some suggestions we would be every so grateful to hear what your thoughts are
THANKS!
