Escondido was first discovered by Juan Bautista de Anza, a Spanish explorer, in 1776. Later, the area became part of the Rancho Rincon del Diablo (the devil’s corner) land grant bestowed to Juan Bautista Alvarado in 1843 by Mexican Governor Manuel Micheltoren. Home to the exotic African and Asian animals of the 2,200-acre San Diego Wild Animal Park, dedicated to the preservation of endangered species. Escondido’s Heritage Row presents a century of history.

Fresno
Fresno is known for its agriculture, although it seems more and more of the farmland is being replaced by houses. Be sure to stop by a fruit stand and try the figs, fresh sweet grapes, strawberries so sweet they don’t need sugar, and oranges you can pick right off a tree by the roadside (though the local farmers may not appreciate you taking part of their crop).
If you’re visiting in late winter or early spring, take a leisurely drive or bicycle ride along the Fresno Blossom Trail to view seas of pink, white, and crimson blossoms in the fruit orchards. The western town of Clovis attracts visitors to both its antiques emporiums and rodeos. Visit the Mennonite Quilt Center in Reedley to watch skilled artisans create striking quilts.
Skiing is available in the Sierras east of Fresno at two locations, Sierra Summit and Badger Pass.
If you are a sports fan, Fresno has several sports team as well as excellent collegiate teams. During the summer you can take in a baseball game at the downtown stadium and see the San Francisco Giant’s Triple A affliate, the Fresno Grizzlies. Or during the fall and winter you can see Fresno Falcons hockey team at the new SaveMart Center (also an excellent concert venue) at Fresno State. And if you are a college sports fan, don’t miss any of the Fresno State Bulldogs football or basketball games. These games are always full of energy and great for a family outing.
Of course one can’t forget Yosetime National Park which is only about 60 miles north of Fresno. Take Hwy 41 north for a hour or so and you are there.
Los Angeles
Los Angeles is the largest city in California and the second largest city in the USA. It is located on the southern coast of California about 75 miles (120km) north of the Mexican border and 400 miles (600km) south of San Francisco. The Los Angeles five-county area has a population of 20.6 million. It includes Los Angeles, Riverside, Ventura, Orange and San Bernardino Counties. If the five-county Los Angeles area were a state, it would be the fourth largest in the United States. Los Angeles is the home of the original Bay Watch, and is rimmed with miles of beaches. Los Angeles has more than 80 stage theaters and 300 museums, more than any U.S. city. The Port of Los Angeles is the busiest in the U.S. Because the Los Angeles area is so large and diverse, it has something to offer to everyone. While Hollywood and the Los Angeles beach culture are part of our collective image of Los Angeles, the city also has more museums than any other city in the United States and some of the best hotels in the world are located in Los Angeles.
The West side has had a hard time competing with the rest of Los Angeles when it comes to nighttime schmoozing but, for daytime fun, the variety of beautiful beaches and sunsets is second to none. Santa Monica Beach has a busy, bright pier complete with food stalls and games arcades, and Santa Monica Place shopping mall and Third Street Promenade are in easy walking distance. Boho Venice beach is the place to go for people-watching; Malibu’s Surfrider Beach is the surfer hangout, Manhattan Beach is where you’ll catch the young and beautiful playing volleyball, and the boardwalk (paved beach path) between Will Rogers State Beach, just north of Santa Monica, and Venice Beach, lends itself excellently to rollerblading.
Places to visit in Los Angeles :
Hollywood: Take a walk down Hollywood Blvd and you’ll pass by famous sights such as Mann’s (née Grauman’s) Chinese Theatre, where more than 150 of the glitterati have left their prints on the sidewalk out the front. Head east along the Boulevard, stepping on those famous bronze stars, and you’ll find yourself at the Roosevelt Hotel.
Disneyland: The park is divided into four different lands: Adventureland has a jungle theme and features Indiana Jones and the Forbidden Eye; Frontierland celebrates the myth of the Wild West; Fantasyland devotes itself to Disney’s favorite characters; and Tomorrowland is all about the future.
Beverly Hills: No star-studded tour would be complete without a visit to Beverly Hills, home to the rich and famous. Just west of Hollywood, this city-within-a-city flaunts its wealth with opulent manors on manicured grounds and shopping streets overflowing with designer labels.
Malibu: Malibu is the archetypal Southern California babe beach and your best bet for sunning and swimming. West of the city, Malibu’s beaches are backed by the rugged mountains of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.
Modesto
Modesto is a small town with big city ambitions, and is located just east of San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland in the San Joaquin Valley. Modesto is located in California’s San Joaquin Valley, near pristine Yosemite National Park and in the midst of the snow-capped Sierra Nevadas. One annual event that draws visitors from all over is Graffiti Days, modeled after filmmaker George Lucas’ movie, American Graffiti, and featuring a show of 1950s era automobiles and a street fair with food, entertainment and activities. The Great Valley Museum of Natural History can be found in Modesto as well, offering interpretations of the central valley’s history, culture, flora and fauna. Visitors to the area can also take in an amateur baseball game at John Thurman Field, which is home to the Modesto A’s, a California League team. For shopping while in Modesto, stop in at Century Center, an amalgam of over 30 stores, restaurants and services.
Oakland
Caught in between San Francisco, Silicon Valley and Napa Valley, you’ll find Oakland. To embrace all Oakland has to offer you must get out and explore. Walk the streets , drive across the Bay Bridge, go south down the peninsula to Silicon Valley and cruise along the San Mateo coast. You will find great sights, museums, art, culture, and family fun attractions. When you come to the San Francisco Bay you will find a plethora of attractions and activities to satisfy the desires of every one who visits. Oakland offers lots of great restaurants that will please anyone’s appetite ranging from Seafood to Steak to Oriental and everything in between. And the shopping is unlimited. There are lots of great places to shop Downtown or by the Bay.

Oceanside
Oceanside, the perfect spot for surfing in San Diego county. You can view current surf conditions in realtime by accessing the internet. In addition there are two live web cams positioned on either side of the pier. Oceanside, the northernmost coastal city in San Diego County, has carried the weight of Camp Pendleton for almost a century. Its main drag caters to hot-rodding Marines and inland tourists. There are car dealerships, motorcycle dealerships, watercraft dealerships, head shops, $5 barbershop specials, Angelo’s, Roberto’s, Alberto’s, Robertito’s, Anita’s, a bowling alley and a Dairy Queen. Add to this a mixed civilian population, including a large community of South Pacific Islanders, and you get a beach town as interesting as its surf is consistent.
Things to do in Oceanside
The California Surf Museum at 233 North Coast Hwy. is free-ninety-free, and holds an amazing quiver (www.surfmuseum.org). It’s open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursday through Monday (760-721-6876). To dig further into local history, visit the King of the Missions, the San Luis Rey, at 4050 Mission Ave., just inland on Highway 76. As risky as your aunt’s potlatch with a creosote aftertaste, surf fishing from the Oceanside pier – with a $6.60 one-day fishing license – is a kick in the ass. If you want to catch something that wouldn’t mind catching you, charter fishing out of Oceanside Harbor can be arranged through Helgren’s Oceanside Sportfishing, located at 315 S. Harbor Dr. (760-722-2133), and starts at $25 a pop. If you’re bored and want to fit in, head into any one of the many $5 chop shops and ask for the “high and tight.” Or, for cheaper thrills, set copper pennies on the train tracks and try to find them after they’ve been squashed.
California : Palm Springs
Palm Springs, California is located 100 miles east of Los Angeles and 110 miles east of San Diego in a desert valley setting known as a vacation paradise.

Palm Springs is also popular for its world-famous Hollywood-influenced history where movie stars past and present have flocked year-after-year for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Riverside
When you bite into a navel orange, in an odd way, you’re tasting a piece of Riverside, California. Riverside is the proud home of the Parent Navel Orange Tree, still bearing fruit after more than 100 years after spawning the world-favorite peel-easy orange.
California was once the citrus-growing capitol of the world, but lost that title to Florida in the 1930s. However, Riverside still produces prime citrus, a proud tradition celebrated by the annual Sunkist Orange Blossom Festival.
To the east lies the desert region of Palm Springs, famed for its Joshua trees and vacationing movie stars. To the west lies greater Los Angeles and the blue Pacific. The river is the Santa Ana. Together with sister city San Bernardino, Riverside comprises the booming “Inland Empire” of Southern California.
A revitalized old California-style downtown boasts the fabled Mission Inn (where the Reagans honeymooned) and the opulent Fox Theater (where Gone with the Wind had its first preview screening). Riverside hosts the California Museum of Photography, which offers both historical and contemporary images from this state that knows how to mug for the camera.
Sacramento
Capital of the State of California? ‘Easy’, I hear you cry, ‘San Francisco’. Wrong, ‘must be LA or maybe San Diego?’ Wrong again. It’s Sacramento and has been since 1854.
Originally founded in 1839 to be a trading post and agricultural centre it really came into its own with the discovery of gold in 1848. Sacramento became the chief supply base for all those who rushed to the area in search of riches.
Sacramento is a beacon of commerce that sticks up out of the largely agricultural central valley. The town boasts aerospace industry and a large busy port (not bad for a city so far inland) alongside agriculture as its chief revenue earners. Two universities ensure a lively nightlife but despite some interesting historical buildings, Sacramento is far from being a tourist haven.
Things to see and do
Sacramento State Capital
Dating back to the 19th century this recently restored building still serves as the administrative centre of the state. There is a small museum and the building itself is pleasant enough to stroll around although a guided tour may be more informative.
Old Sacramento
This restored riverfront holds the largest number of buildings on the national register of Historic Places than anywhere in the whole states. This is now a rejuvenated area of bars, shops and restaurants. For a ride on the river, take a trip aboard the Spirit of Sacramento, an 1842 paddle steamer.
California State Railroad Museum
It is claimed to be one of the largest of such museums in the world and there is certainly plenty to see. Many of the exhibits are of the kind familiar to any fan of Western movies; there are a number of trains with the distinctive big old cowcatcher on the front and smokestacks shaped like the ‘Fat Controller’.
Nearby is a discovery museum; this one rises above so many of this type of museum (hands on, child friendly, interactive are phrases used a lot in relation to these places) by having a good showing of artefacts from the gold rush era.
Sutters Fort State Historic Park
The founder of the city was John Sutter but his son christened it Sacramento. This is a recreation of the first settlement on the site and re-enactments of life in the 1850’s take place on summer weekends.
Part of the complex is given over to the California State Indian Museum with an extensive array of Indian crafts and clothing.
Eating, Drinking and Sleeping
With a substantial student populace, there are many lively bars and restaurants although the food is pretty standard fare in many cases.
There is not much by way of cheap accommodation, best bet here is bed and breakfast, otherwise there is a moderate degree of choice.
San Bernardino
San Bernardino is a city in San Bernardino County, in the Riverside-San Bernardino metro area. It is the county seat. The community is in the Pacific Standard time zone. More than 280 acres of parks, lakes, and recreation areas are within the city limits of San Bernardino. Let your youngsters experiment with hands-on exhibits at A Special Place Children’s Museum. Spend an evening listening to music by the San Bernardino Civic Light Opera Company at the California Theatre of the Performing Arts or appreciating world-class entertainment at the Glen Helen Blockbuster Pavilion. Weekends, from April to June, 1,000 brilliantly costumed performers parade in 30 acres of meadows near tree-lined lakes at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire. If you love cars, don’t miss the Route 66 Rendezvous Festival, a three-day event in September that draws 160,000 automotive-nostalgia buffs who cruise the highway in their “rods.”

San Francisco
On the surface San Francisco is all the cliché tourist icons that we know: the Golden Gate bridge, Alcatraz, Chinatown, etc. But also keep in mind, San Francisco itself is fairly small geographically – not to mention that excluding the residential areas – the city is the home of the SF Giants. During the summertime, a great family-friendly place to catch a ballgame. Sit in the upper deck to see the Bay and the real obvious tourist area of SF. Most residents of the Bay Area do not go down there except to bring friends and relatives. There are restaurants and lots of shopping directed towards tourists. Of course, at Fisherman’s Wharf, you can get the famous crab. (Crab season is September/October to about April). You can eat crab all year round but they’re best in season. And while it’s not really a SF tradition (really an L.A. tradition), the only In ‘N Out Burger joint in SF is at the Fisherman’s Wharf area so if you haven’t had one – get it there! The Pier area (Pier 40 and further south at the Ferry Building) is where the ferries arrive from around the rest of the Bay Area. The mile between the Ferry Building and Pier 39 is an uncluttered waterfront view of underneath the Bay Bridge, Oakland, Berkeley and further east.
San Francisco is less a single city than it is an amalgamation of many neighborhoods. The major neighborhoods are North Beach, SOMA, Castro, Mission, Haight, Hayes Valley, Bernal Heights, Noe Valley, and South of Market. Not all of the neighborhoods are tourist destinations, but all of them contain good shopping and cute bistros and cafes.
California : San Jose
San Jose is not a small place either, surprisingly it’s almost twice the size of it’s northern neighbour, San Francisco. To many, the South Bay is synonymous with Silicon Valley, the center of high-tech research and the corporate headquarters of such giants as Apple, Sun Microsystems, Oracle, and Hewlett-Packard. But Silicon Valley is more a state of mind than a place – it is an attitude held by the legions of software engineers, programmers, and computerphiles who call the area home. The population is greater than that of San Francisco, making this the eleventh largest city in the U.S. Once an agricultural stronghold, San Jose has become a mecca for arts and culture as well as a rapidly growing center for technology. The hands-on Tech Museum of Innovation is a popular illustration of the art of technology.

California : Stockton
Stockton is unique for a port town due to its extreme inland location in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley agricultural belt. Being a pioneer city, Stockton came alive during the Gold Rush. At the time that gold was discovered, Stockton became a center for miners traveling from San Francisco on the delta by riverboat. These miners were then destined for the rich mines of the Mother Lode. Stockton is surrounded by the rich agricultural areas of the California Central Valley, and has a large inland port. In and around Stockton are numerous waterways that comprise the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
Stockton is home to a vibrant arts scene that showcases everything from opera and live theatre to concerts and art galleries. It is also home to a major private university, the University of the Pacific. UOP is frequently used in Hollywood movies because of its aesthetic likeness to East Coast Ivy League universities. Its most famous such appearance is probably Steven Spielberg and George Lucas’ Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The Fallbrook area and the Temecula Valley date back to the Temecula Indians, who inhabited the hillsides before the white man came. In the 1800’s it was a mail route which connected the east with the west, and today it is home to a blossoming wine industry and a golf course explosion.
