Hey all! We usually take a family vacation every year. We go to the beach in FL quite often and we have been to WDW a few times. This year, our son (16) has asked if we could do a trip to Vegas/Grand Canyon/Cali next year (2020) for our family vacation. The Vegas/GC part I'm good with as my husband and I go to Vegas for our anniversary each year so we are familiar with that area, but I need some help with the Cali part as neither me nor my husband have been there. The traveling party will be me, my husband, our son (almost 17), and our daughter (23). Any tips, advice, pointer, etc., would be greatly appreciated.
We want to do the following in Cali if possible:
Disneyland (probably just 1 day)
Santa Monica Pier (son's request, it's a must)
Walk of Fame, Chinese Theatre, touristy stuff like that etc.
See the Hollywood sign
And whatever else you guys tell me about, lol.
Our itinerary looks like this so far:
Friday - fly in to Vegas late evening.
Saturday - day in Vegas for sights, a show, etc.
Sunday - rent car and drive to Zion National Park (2.5 hour), then back to Vegas and spend the rest of the evening there (another show, sights, etc).
Monday - early drive to South Rim of GC. Stay overnight near there.
Tuesday - drive back to Vegas, stopping at Hoover Dam on the way, then fly to LA early evening.
Wednesday - Cali
Thursday - Cali
Friday - Cali
Saturday - Cali
Sunday - fly home
