Thanks so much. You've given me so many ideas that 8 days is *not* going to be enough. Oh well, we'll have to go back!

When I first began looking at nearby attractions, I dismissed Knott's Berry Farm because December is berry season in Australia, so I figured it couldn't be berry season in America!

Then I discovered there is a whole lot more than berries!

The rides there look incredible - we're very much a roller coaster family. smile

Believe it or not, I hadn't even thought about the Thanksgiving holiday. (We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Oz.) However, by good luck rather than good management, we will be in Canada during American Thanksgiving and by the time we get to LA, the holiday will be over and the kids will be back at school.

Thanks again! So much to do. Can't wait.

Corrina.
