Here is a loose itinerary for our upcoming trip. The trip will be me, DH and DD11. Let me know what you think.
Day 1 Arrive – Eta into Fresno is 4pm. Planning on driving to Visalia to our Air Bnb and grabbing take out to each there and relax in the hot tub. DD has requested mini golf or another activity.
Day 2 – Sequoia National Park
Day 3 – Drive to LA in the morning, looking to arrive at the Griffiths Observatory by noon. Lunch on the way in, or purchased in Visalia to picnic at the Observatory and then check out the Observatory. Drive to GCH. Maybe grab supper on the way or at DTD
Day 4 – DCA/DL day (I know one day only is killer but DH is not a Disney fan)
Day 5 – check out of GCH and head to the Peterson Car Museum and La Brea with afternoon time at the beach (probably Venice or Santa Monica). Checking into a hotel in old Town Pasadena for the remainder of the trip.
Day 6 – WB Studios morning Heritage Square Museum in the afternoon.
Questions – Would you do the beach in the morning and then museums in the afternoon? I don’t like the thought of backtracking across LA. For reference it will be on a Saturday and at the time of year that it will be too cold to really swim. I was thinking of maybe renting bikes and touring?
If anyone has done the Peterson or WB Studios, did you do the vault at Peterson and the upgraded tour at WB? Thoughts?
Does anyone have any recommendations for restaurants in Old Town, near the Peterson or out at the beach? I am planning on eating at WB studios to save time between there and Heritage Square. When we are at the Peterson/LaBrea I was thinking of going to the Farmers Market. I have also seen Great Mex on the Balboa Pier mentioned quite a bit so that would change beaches.
