california: It's summer vacation in California and my parents are thinking of going somewhere for vacation. I live in orange county in california and want to know what are some good places to go in california. I've already been to San Diego(places like Seaworld), Sacramento(I've been inside the gov't building thing. i dunno what it's called), Lake Tahoe, Golden Gate Bridge, the beaches, and I think that's it. And we're planning to go by car.|||Monterey Bay is absolutely gorgeous, especially if you drive up there via Hwy 101 along the coast. Yosemite is always pretty if you like camping. If your 21 you can always do a Napa Valley/Sanoma Valley vineyard tour.|||How about Legoland California? Have you ever been there yet? Legoland only has two locations in the country: Legoland California and Legoland Florida. The park is focused on Lego bricks and home to over 50 rides, shows and attractions. And it holds the distinction from other Legoland park with a water park. Some popular sections of the park are Fun Town, Imagination Zone, Land of Adventure, Village Green, Pirate Shores, Dino Island, Duplo and more. It deserves your visit sometime.
