California http://www.ca.gov/
Today we take a trip out west to California! I've had the chance to visit this beautiful state a few times on trips to visit family! Los Angeles is a very BUSY city, with LOTS of people! There were many fun things to see and do while there, and who can pass up a chance to dip your toes in the Pacific?!
I also spent a few days up in the mountains when we attended my cousin's wedding, and what a difference that was! Beautiful place to explore with amazing views!
If you're looking for a get-away, let me know and I'll help you set something up!

Climate
Due to the large size of the State, the climate here ranges
from Subarctic to Subtropical depending on where you are within the state. The Northern part of the state receives more
rainfall than the Southern regions. Climate is greatly influenced by both the
California Current, offshore, as well as the Mountain ranges.
Death Valley is located in California, and recorded the
highest temperature in the world in 1913 reaching 134 degrees F.
If you are looking for a mild summer climate, the coastlines
near San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco are considered the coolest of all
major metropolitan areas in the US, however if you go inland even just a few
miles, the temperatures can increase significantly.
