My family is planning a trip to California for the end of August (August 24 - September 1). I'm more a planner than they are, in fact they're more fly by the seat of their pants but them complain when nobody has any idea of where to go or what to do while I'm more of a check the schedule and see where we are going next.
This trip includes myself, my sister, 3 nieces (18, 16 and 12) and my sisters boyfriend and his daughter (14). Our plans are to arrive on the evening of the 24th and drive to Anaheim where I've booked us rooms at Flamingo Inn & Suites for 6 nights. We plan to make this our base camp to do things around the LA area. Here's what I have so far set in stone:
August 24 - Land 7pm, drive to Annaheim and check in to hotel
August 25 - Los Angeles (possibly a hop on hop off bus tour... I'm pushing for this one.)
August 26 - Beach day (any recommendations for a nice beach to visit?)
August 27 - Disney
August 28 - Either another beach day or a day trip to sights around LA
August 29 - Disney
August 30 - Drive to San Francisco (any recommendations for things to see along the way? Any crazy roadside attractions the kids might like?)
August 31 - Alcatraz, Golden Gate Bridge, etc. Kids want to see the Full House house, Lombard St, maybe take a trolley ride.)
Sept 1 - Early morning flight home
Any suggestions on beaches, must do tours in LA (kids are into bands like Twenty One Pilots and Panic! at the Disco. Youngest one is a huge BTS fan. So anything geared towards their likes would be a plus.)
I'm especially open to suggestions/ideas for the ride to San Francisco.
Thanks!!
