Ideas/Recommendations for a family trip

I had a mini heart attack on the Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios. I'm weak sauce.

On a serious note. I've never been to L.A.

Your level of weak sauce depends on what scared you.....The dinosaurs or the drop?

Probably the dinosaurs, the girls are always scared of the dinosaurs on that ride.

Are you guys actually NOT going to any theme parks? I don't think that's bad or good, it just would be an interesting diversion from the typical first time L.A. traveler is all. If you guys want some cool hiking/exploration spots and a chance to escape the crowds that you'll see in the beaches nearer to where you are staying I suggest:

Probably my favorite place in the world. Just some downright awesome trails at those places. A lot of offbeat stuff to find. Cool caves, water holes, horse trails, best surf spots , whatever you want to do in the outdoors. It's good stuff.

The same map the Hillside Stranglers used I believe.

Not doing much to further the perception of the female gene, there. Sidenote: LA is also in Cali.

Did you live in the area? I lived in Simi for 5 years.

There's a place in the canyon just above Ojai that we liked to hike to that had a decent waterfall and a large bowl at the base of it you can cliff dive into. The hike was fairly strenuous (especially when you are toting a 4 year old most of the way) but it was a pretty cool place.
