Highway 1 and Big Sur, West coast California

It is the area of coast up from Los Angeles to San Francisco. The quicker route between the two cities is route 101, which is the road we took last time, but we thought we’d take the scenic route…

Solvang and Nojoqui Falls county park, California

It looked very close to the coast on the map, but turned out to be quite a long way out of our route. We thought we’d have a go at visiting somewhere different in the the Rough Guide guidebook.

The Los Angeles Natural History Museum

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

February 11, 2012

This is yet another of Disney’s theme parks in Florida, Orlando, and probably my favourite. It may have been my favourite day of the holiday actually…

Seaworld, Florida, USA
