The Best of NileGuide
In Orange County, it’s often very sunny and pleasantly warm. Not only does this allow you to explore the many outdoorsy/sporting options that the OC offers in abundance, but it also means you can relax. The good weather isn’t going to end (that’s a cast-iron guarantee in season). Roll up your beach towels and decamp somewhere like San Clemente, for example - it’s a little off the beaten path, but worth the trip. Or spurn natural beauty and make for the manufactured magic of Disneyland, the Wild Rivers waterpark, or the commercial majesty of the OC mall scene. You won’t have time to do it all, so just remember to relax and enjoy.
