6 Reasons You Should Visit California On Your Next Vacation

October 22, 2020 by Kathryn 6 Comments

My family has taken a lot of vacations over the years, and discovered a lot of places to love. And one of the most fun-filled trips we ever took was to beautiful California.

When people think of California, places like Hollywood, Silicon Valley and the Napa Valley wine region tend to spring to mind. But the state has so much more than just that to offer!

While most people know that Anaheim, California is the home of Disneyland, far fewer people know that Buena Park, just 15 minutes away, is the home of Knott’s Berry Farm, the oldest theme park in the United States. And while Knott’s Berry Farm is by far Buena Park’s biggest attraction, it’s only one of the many kid-friendly activities the city has to offer!
