The Ultimate SoCal Staycation

Hi Lovelies, I am excited to be heading to NYFW. My favorite time of year. Today, I’m sharing our adventures from winter break. This is the ultimate SoCal Staycation with everything from LA to San Diego.

Disneyland

You can always guarantee that Disneyland is on my list for a SoCal Staycation. This is our favorite destination in Southern California. We have our annual passes and it’s always a part of our staycations. There is nothing like a day at Disneyland. I will be sharing all of our Disneyland Tips in a few weeks, but if you are heading to Disney World check out all my tips here.

I highly recommend getting Max Passes and using the app during your visit. It makes your trip way easier to navigate.

Museum Of Illusions

We visited the Museum of Illusions and the upside down house during our holiday break and it was so much fun. I highly suggest making a day trip to LA to enjoy this museum. If you head to my Instagram you can check out several of my favorite illusions here. My favorite was the side of the building where you can stand on the edge, followed up by the giant donut and the black hole!! The best way to round out a trip to LA is to stop in to Bottega Louie. Grab a really great lunch and some of my favorite macarons!!

Knotts Berry Farm

Knotts Berry Farm is another great destination if you have older kids. In order to enjoy most of the rides your children need to be at least 48 inches. They do have Camp Snoopy that is great for small children, but the park is much more enjoyable if you can get on more rides. Some of our favorites are Hang Time, Calico River Rapids, and Sierra Sidewinder.

Another tip if you have annual passes, grab a snoopy bucket. It’s $1 refills for all of 2020!!

Big Bear

The beautiful thing about SoCal is that we can go from the beach to the snow in 24 hours. So, in the ultimate Staycation you have to do just that. A quick trip to Big Bear is a must. I will be back sharing our favorite restaurants and things to do along with our GoPro footage of our family fun day.

If you are traveling on a weekend, you have to check out the Glow Tubing at Big Bear Snow Play. We had so much fun and it was a great way to enjoy the evening hours in the cold.

San Diego Symphony

If part of your SoCal Staycation brings you to sunny San Diego, you have to make your way to the San Diego Symphony is a great place for a family show or a date night. We enjoy their Fox Movie nights, where the symphony plays live over the movie.

Rare opportunity of an empty spot inside @disneyla Rare opportunity of an empty spot inside @disneyland and just wishing we could get a reservation to see the new Toontown
SoCal residents have you ever visited a mission? M SoCal residents have you ever visited a mission? Mission ⛪
Last week we visited our 3rd mission.  This is taking it back to @oldmissionsb which we loved.  My daughter was obsessed with learning about Karana from “Island of the Blue Dolphin” If your child is in 4th grade take them to check out a few missions. It’s a part of their curriculum and they can learn so much from the way the Spanish operated here in SoCal in the late 1700’s-1800’s. Of course not every detail of this settlement was positive, but it’s a great opportunity to have discussions and educate your children about the indigenous people and the Spanish settlers. 
AND don’t forget 4th graders can get the national parks pass with Every Kid Outdoors. Link in stories.
