Useful Tips
If you have more time, consider adding a day trip to Santa Barbara or Joshua Tree National Park. Alternatively, if you have less time, skip some of the theme parks and museums in favor of more outdoor activities like hiking or exploring beach towns. Always check opening and closing times for attractions and plan accordingly to avoid crowds.
