California: you have to know where to go; the state is HUGE! Personal favorite locations (honeymoon friendly): Santa Barbara, Cambria, Monterey, Solvang, Crescent City, Visalia (King's Canyon), Morro Bay, Lake Tahoe, Mendocino and... There are too many good ones! Definite things to see: the redwoods, Yosemite, Sequoia Nat'l Forest, Big Sur. Least favorite: theme parks in the south! I personally hate large crowds, so I tend to avoid the likes of Disneyland, Univ. Studios, and San Diego Zoo. Also, if you're thinking about living here, think again - housing prices are absolutely outrageous in CA and wages haven't kept up.
