There are such great beaches and kid friendly things to do in the OC. </p> <p>I'd LOVE to take my kids to the Grand Canyon and Big Sur, and go camping, etc, but am waiting til they're all a bit older :). It's a long drive so in your situation, I'd stay a bit more local. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/california-or-thereabouts-recs-for-add-on-to-san-diego-trip#post-2275846 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 10:15:16 +0000 Portboston 2275846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely Laguna/Newport and Disney. There are beautiful beaches up there! I wouldn't want to drive too far with a 2.5 yr old. And I'm sure your LO would enjoy Disney by that age! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/california-or-thereabouts-recs-for-add-on-to-san-diego-trip#post-2275791 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 09:37:52 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2275791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is prob do Laguna/Newport and Disney. There's tons to do in OC and its so close. You should also check out Temecula if you didn't last time (sorry I spaced on replying to your message!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/california-or-thereabouts-recs-for-add-on-to-san-diego-trip#post-2275772 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 09:21:36 +0000 illumina 2275772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO and I had a great time accompanying Dh on his annual work trip to San Diego in June and I'm already thinking about next year's trip! We'd need to be in SD Mon-Fri and then I'm thinking it would be nice to spend a week either before or after travelling together to see somewhere else not too far away. </p> <p>Dh and I have already been to San Francisco, LA and the coast inbetween. I'd love to go back to Big Sur, but I'm not sure we'd be doing much hiking with a toddler so would it be worth it? I'd also like to see some of the NPs in Arizona/Califonia but not sure how much fun LO would find all the driving! So I'm thinking about maybe doing Vegas, or the Grand Canyon, or heading up to Laguna/Newport beach area and then maybe Disney?</p> <p>What would you do? LO will probably be about 2.5yrs old at the time. </p>
