outhern California is truly a destination for all seasons. Our own back yard offers a wealth of places to visit and experience. These spring months are an ideal time to see our local landscape. The rest of the country has not yet embarked on summer vacations, so San Diego County residents can enjoy our ocean, area beaches, the mountains, desert and unique towns without the crowds, lines and lack of parking spaces. Here are some things to do within an hour or three of your doorstep: Only an hour’s drive away is southern Riverside County’s Temecula Valley and its wealth of offerings — like the annual Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival, which runs May 30 through June 1. There are few things more dramatic than dozens of glowing balloons ascending into the nighttime sky over the Lake Skinner Recreation Area, a few miles northeast of Temecula. Ascensions also take place at dawn, when you can reserve a spot for a ride in one of the 40 or 50 balloons. Award-winning Temecula Valley wines also are showcased, as well as and food-and-wine pairings. There’ll be plenty of music, too. And if you are driving north on Interstate 15 on a Saturday, stop in at the festive open-air market in Temecula’s Old Town. Vendors offer vineand tree-ripened fruits and veggies, and locally grown flowers. Visit temeculacvb.com/. Wine and motorcycles? An unusual paring for sure, but you’ll find them at Temecula Valley’s Doffo Winery, built around the former site of a historic schoolhouse. Many motorcycles are situated throughout the
through April 20. Prices include complimentary outdoor movies, bay cruises, arcade games, and lei-making and hula lessons for kids. Ask about the free meals for kids, too. Call (858) 488-1081. Visit catamaranresort.com. Book a mid-week ticket to Santa Barbara on Amtrak between now and May 17 and save 30 percent. And don’t worry about being car-less when you arrive. Just a few blocks from
