    Probably won't be visiting Orange County any time soon, though I'd really like to. Thanks for the tips about where to go.

  • Jan Corn6/12/2010

    Laughing at the comments here but the activities seem worth checking out. Thanks for the info.

  • Nancy Tracy6/12/2010

    Great round up, though I would avoid Leno because, as of a few years ago, he was still telling "My parents can't operate their VCR" jokes in his stand up. The man needs new material! P.S. My L.A. travel tips story took me, like, forever... does that sound Valley Girlish enough ; )
