Balboa Fun Zone

One of the oldest amusement parks in southern California, Balboa Fun Zone is a harbor-sized time capsule sent from an era when carnival rides were designed with a distinctive panache. The colorful attractions have occupied the Balboa Peninsula since 1936, when the original landowner converted an old boat yard into a seaside carnival. The peninsula juts out from Newport Beach to form the storied patch of real estate that has attracted countless patrons with spinning carousels, arcades, and a ferris wheel known for its longish rides and elevated views of the Pacific's horizon.

The amusement park enjoyed a rebuilding in 1986 and today retains its original elegance despite decades of serial owners and various changes to the landscape and surrounding shops. Although the beloved merry-go-round was retired in 2011, the wooden stallions still drop in once a summer to greet old friends and nibble on cotton candy.

Desert-Inspired Hotel with Elegant Outdoor Pool

Best Western Plus Palm Desert Resort lies in the heart of the Coachella Valley, a stark landscape peppered with lush fairways and flanked on three sides by mountains. Befitting its desert environs, the hotel features Spanish villa architecture, replete with stucco walls and terra cotta roof tiles. Towering palm trees and blooming gardens add a bright pop of color to the hotel's landscaping.

The courtyard contains a figure-eight-shaped pool and circular whirlpool, surrounded by fan palms and verdant shrubs. After a dip in the pool, you can sweat it out at the workout facility, or engage in a shouting match with the line judge at the tennis courts. In the morning, don't miss out on a complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast of eggs, pancakes, fresh fruit, danishes, and bacon.

Palm Desert, California: Shopping and Golf in Scenic Coachella Valley

Palm Desert shares the same desert landscape and resort atmosphere as Palm Springs, about 15 miles to the northeast. El Paseo, known as the Rodeo Drive of the Desert, is within walking distance of the hotel. The popular shopping district features art galleries, high-end boutiques, and brand-name retailers such as Gucci, Ralph Lauren, and Saks Fifth Avenue.

Palm Desert is also a gateway town into the north end of the 800,000-acre Joshua Tree National Park, located less than 60 miles away. In addition to being the birthplace of Bono, the desert park is famous for its unusual geologic formations and mountains made of twisted rock, which are ideal for rock climbing. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife including desert bighorn sheep, golden eagles, and coyotes.

For a guaranteed glimpse of wildlife, check out The Living Desert, a zoo, botanical garden, and animal hospital in Palm Desert. As you stroll throughout the various geographical regions-including North America, Africa, and Village WaTuTu-you will see flora and fauna indigenous to that area, which can include mexican gray wolves, giraffes, and jaguars. The Living Desert also boasts a G-scale model train that winds its way through replicas of historical scenes, including a California logging and mining town and the south rim of the Grand Canyon.

Faces, like potatoes, must be scrubbed and buffed to clear away excess dirt, remove dry skin, and prevent the emergence of extra eyes. Buff away unsightly blemishes with this Groupon: for $35, you get a 60-minute relaxation massage or a 60-minute classic facial at In Essence Day Spa in Mission Viejo (a $70 value).

At In Essence Day Spa, peace seekers indulge in custom skincare procedures and calming massages. During the relaxation massage, clients can unwind as therapists use long, rhythmic strokes of a pressure level calibrated to patrons' preferences. Frames relax beneath the skilled therapist's fingers, which stimulate circulation and transport muscles to buttery states.

For the classic facial, a deep cleansing clears out pores, and an exfoliation scrubs off dead skin cells and phone numbers scrawled on cheeks. Extractions then sweep away problem spots with more gentleness than a teddy bear breaking bad news, and touch-therapy massages reduce shoulders, hands, and arms to pools of molten contentment. Next, a revitalizing mask preps the way for a nutrient-packed moisturizer, which guards façades against the seductive advances of the sun's rays. Candles and flowers pop against the deep-red walls of the reception area, where guests can snuggle with a throw pillow or an imaginary pen pal while perusing modern artwork before their treatments.

$29 for a Wine-Appreciation Class, Tour, and Tasting ($150 Value)

During a 2.5-hour wine-appreciation class, groups of 20-50 guests guzzle down factoids on the wine-crafting process, starting with how the vineyards are maintained and moving into how each varietal is harvested, crushed, fermented, and aged. A tour of the winery, equipment on view, and historical tidbits about Temecula wine country pour further education into open ears before patrons get to taste wine samples, which are coupled with freshly baked breads, italian salami, and cheese. Wine-appreciation classes are held on Fridays, twice per day on Saturdays and Sundays, and on Mondays. Participants must call ahead to reserve a spot.
