BEVERLY HILLS! i actually live in balboa island so its like an hour away from here but they have the BEST shopping, best restaurants, even more STARBUCKS than orange county & whenever you feel like meeting a celeb, just drive on up. LOL
My favorite place is actually somewhere I just discovered recently, which is the Ventura Pier at San Buenaventura beach. It goes out very far into the ocean and if you watch Little Miss Sunshine, it was where Carrell and Dano chatted at and the hotel behind the pier was where the pageant was held in the film. I have good memories at that pier and hotel since my prom was at the hotel. Also that pier is very relaxing and nice to go to when I just need to get away. Second favorite place is any beach with good waves for me to boogie board with =)
I live in LA, so I'd have to say somewhere else to make it special...I just love the jibe in San Diego, but my favorite place to take a weekend has to be Napa Valley. Great food, wine everywhere, what's not to love? :)
But I like it here in the Valley too :]
