5 Quick Winter Break Getaways
By Samantha Romero ‘16
1.Portland
This past Thanksgiving my friends and I planned a quick getaway to Portland. The breweries and lush hikes are totally worth the 15-hour drive. I recommend going with a group friends to split the driving time.
2.Santa Barbara
Enjoy brunch along the coast and the beautiful views in Santa Barbara and if you’re keen try scuba diving or paddle boarding.
3.Seattle

Chilly weather aside, I fell in love with the Seattle. You must go to the Public Market and enjoy a bread bowl of clam chowder. Also, don’t forget to stop by the first-ever Starbucks.
4.San Francisco
After road tripping to Seattle, San Francisco seems like it’s right around the corner from Los Angeles. My favorite places to stop by include the Sutro Bath ruins and Dolores Park.
5.San Diego

A mere two hour drive from Los Angeles, San Diego is known for it’s seemingly endless miles of white-sand beaches. You can totally check out the trendy Gaslamp Quarter after taking in some California sunshine at the beach.
