Paul Hill Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Seems we'll be spending Easter weekend in the LA area. Was looking for "must do" things... We are flying into Frisco early Thursday, touring down the coast for a surfing lesson for our almost 17 yr old daughter early Friday. Hopi ng to be in Thousand Oaks area later Friday, then open til Monday morning. The main purpose of the trip is to pick up a new f/g body from Meyers in Valley Centre Tuesday or Wednesday, then haul it over to meet up with some friends in Quartzsite who will haul it back to Canada for us. Will likely have to rent a pickup or small U-haul type truck for a one way rental, unless someone has a bright idea here.... So..looking for fun things. We made a similar trip previously, have seen Hearst Castle, but open to a wide range of touristy or car things. The Peterson was on our list but seems it is closed for reno. Anyone?

scannon Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I don't know if the whales will still be running but some friends and I had an amazing experience renting sea kayaks from the pier at San Simeon last September. The humpback whales were very close to shore doing that circle the fish schools thing and blowing bubbles then zooming up to the surface taking in large numbers of fish. Lots of breaching, tail slaps and spouting. We were close to the edge of the action. Literally thousands of sea birds flying in a big circle and thousands more sitting on the water with pelicans dive bombing all over the place.

NVP66S Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 What are your tastes? For more car stuff, there's the Nethercutt auto museum in Sylmar, depending on what part of L.A. you're visiting. Lots of restored '20s thru '40s cars but you can't look inside. http://www.yelp.com/biz/nethercutt-museum-sylmar If you're into drag racing, the NHRA museum is about 35 miles East of L.A. center. http://museum.nhra.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FE07 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Here's a second to the Nethercutt collection. Awesome car museum. Think you need a reservation for one part of it. The Mullin automotive museum is supposed to be great but I've never been there. They have limited hours. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
