@Gr8Guy1979 We have friends in Southern California, Orange County and one teaches at UCLA...the professor drove us to Yosemite and Sequoia and a road trip through the agricultural part, desert, coast...it was nice. Especially before the forest fires got too bad.
@Gr8Guy1979 When we got back we stayed in Laguna Niguel and one night on Irvine campus. Spent one afternoon at the beach...I wanted to be at the beach more but we packed a lot of things in one vacation. Went to San Juan Capistrano one day too.
