Message-ID: It was discussed, and I might be asking for selfish reasons...BUT, although TravelOK can pull together "road trips".... I think it's best and more fun to hear from those that live there. SO, in your historic commercial area... give us your top 3 things we could do to make a road trip and spend an afternoon/day. I'm not looking for vague things like "shopping".... I want, get fresh baked bakery items at XXX, then go visit XX museum or XXX attraction, get best ice cream/coffee at XXX. 1. For family with kids 2. For single adults 3. for marrieds without kids (could be old or young). Whatcha got? What would you feature in YOUR area to make it memorable? If you would also like with a neighboring program that's fine too. For example, we stopped in Kendall Whittier and got treats from Pancho Anaya Bakery, then drove on to see the Blue Whale, then drove to Woolorac and hiked and visited the museum. And then came home. kel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
