Whether you are new to SoCal or you've lived here your whole life, there are many things that we Southern Californians all know and love. Here are a few of our favorites that we simply can't live without. What else would you add to this list?
1. Wildflowers
Once per year Southern California bursts into bloom with the most colorful wildflowers you have ever seen. Even though we are lucky enough to see this year after year we never EVER get tired of experiencing this kind of beauty.
2. Fresh Produce
Whether you grow your own fruits and veggies, shop at a farmers' market, or even just head to the local grocery store, we all know and love the fresh produce we have access to in SoCal.
3. Avocados
Speaking of produce, one of our favorite things to eat in SoCal just so happens to be an avocado. We love it so much we put it on everything — eggs, toast, tacos, or even just ripe off the vine with a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of salt.
4. Snow
We may not get snow in most parts of SoCal, but we sure know where to locate a snowy mountain town whenever we need a winter fix. And once we find it, you can bet we love playing in in it for a few days.
5. In 'N Out
We can't help ourselves but we just love the homestyle burgers and fresh cut fries at In 'N Out. Add one of those super thick milkshakes and we are in heaven.
6. Disneyland
Disneyland isn't just for tourists — the locals love this place, too. There's just something about this amusement park that brings out the kid in all of us.
7. Sunday Drives
We love finding a beautiful back road, rolling down the windows, blasting the music, and enjoying the fresh SoCal breeze on a long and relaxing Sunday drive.
8. Small Towns
We can't help but love the quaint small towns dotted throughout the southern part of the state. From cozy mountain towns to quiet beach towns, we love them all and we never get tired of exploring them.
9. Ocean Views
After living in Southern California long enough, you realize that ocean views are just part of life here in SoCal. And the best part? We never get tired of seeing that gorgeous scenery that totally defines this part of the country.
I bet a few of those things sound familiar. What else do you love about Southern California? Please share in the comments.
