Where to Visit in Southern California
San Diego
Looking for a more relaxed vacation destination? San Diego is the perfect laid back city with breath taking views. During my trip to San Diego I stayed at the most amazing resort, The Fairmont Grand Del Mar and had the time of my life.
It was the perfect place to go on a road trip to from LA! Driving down in my Mazda 6 from Chapman Egg Harbor. was truly a fun experience! You can check out all Mazda has to offer when you visit the Chapman Mazda dealership and explore their vast inventory!
Los Angeles
Los Angeles is easily the most famous city in southern California. LA has it all: Hollywood, perfect weather, beautiful people and beautiful places. After digging through countless resources I created a perfect weekend itinerary for a weekend of fun and iconic LA moments.

Joshua Tree National Park
Looking for the ultimate desert vibes in California? I strongly suggest doing a Day trip to Joshua Tree National Park! Joshua Tree is about a 2 hour drive from LA but feels like a completely different vibe. I recommend driving or renting a car for this trip although you can also get there via Bus or Taxi. During one of my trips to Los Angeles we left about two hours before the sun came up and got there just in time to watch the sunrise!
Catalina Island
Catalina Island is the perfect weekend getaway, girl’s trip or even day trip for a carefree island experience. It feels like an exotic foreign land but no passport is required for this trip! That’s because the island is only 22 miles off the coast of Long Beach and considered part of California.
