Hellooooooo

I was curious, how many of you guys actually live in California or may have visited and done some pretty cool things? I will be moving there sometime in February to a military base & will be there for about three years. I want to make a "bucket list" of things to go see and do while there. I live in Georgia and the farthest I have "vacationed" from home is Disney world 4 hours from my house, so California will be quite interesting!
But so far my bucket list consists of:

California Bucket List.
1. Go to Disney Land!
2. Go to Vegas!
3. See giant trees!​

So as you can see my "bucket list" is very nonexistent and that's quite lame. So, give me ideas! My husband is in the military so long trips may be hard. I'm not totally sure, still new to the military lifestyle. If it helps I will be living just north of San Diego on the coast! Hopefully there wont be an earthquake and I fall off the map of the US while I'm there!
(Yes I know Vegas isn't in California)

 

Come to central California and visit the vineyards before the water runs out (haha, just kidding, kind of..) ! They are very nice and dreamy, plus the weather is always around 80°!

 

You should like go stalk and visit all the big YouTubers, everyone lives in LA
jk jk but there's a lot in Cali and I'm sure there's a lot to do there xD
3 things on a bucket list? Better than nothing! A start is already good
Ummm I got nothing, good luck with the heat or something

 

Where's California?

 

Camp Pendleton, eh? Oceanside is a nice place to live. Enjoy the beach as often as possible.

Disneyland has nearly nothing new to offer you if you've already done Disney World in Florida. Disneyland is basically an older Magic Kingdom. Across the street is Disney's California Adventure, which is a lame disappointment. Nobody goes there unless the park-hopper pass is being steeply discounted.

The amazing thing about CA is you can do EVERYTHING. Some items for your bucket list:

- Visit Big Bear in the winter for snow-based fun.
- Offshore fishing is going nuts due to ocean warming, so if you like fishing, that'll take it up a notch or ten.
- Whale-watching trip, at least once.
- Vegas, or for a cheaper, less-crowded version, Laughlin, NV.
- Avalon, Catalina Island is a good trip. And for an international experience, cross into Mexico and book yourself into a hotel/resort along the beaches between Rosarito and Ensenada. There's a beautiful scenic highway along the way, and you'll see the Black Pearl moored along the way.
- Georgia has no or poor-quality hockey, so go see live hockey. It's way awesome live. There are plenty of cheap tickets to nearby AHL teams, like the San Diego Gulls or Ontario Reign. The AHL talent is only one step below NHL.
- If you never got around to visiting Universal Studios Orlando, the one in the LA area is an option, and the two parka actually offer some different attractions, so it might be worth your doing even if you have.
- I haven't been, but I hear amazing things about Knott's Berry Farm around Halloween.

That'll do for a start.
