We stayed at the Four Seasons in Scottsdale. It was one of the more amazing places that we have been to so far. The scenery was magnificent with ""purple mountains majesty"" and the breathtaking views. We also took a trip into the dessert and came across the cactus that was much bigger than we imagined. We will definitely go there again." We would highly recommend the hotel as they were definitely first class all around and very dog friendly.

We originally heard about Sanibel Island on some travel program on TV as one of the best shell beaches in the world. That was all it took for one of my sons who is a rock collector. The hotel was built on a pier so you are over the water and merely needed to just drop your pole in. Mornings were spent inside drinking coffee overlooking the water and watching the children fish off the back and side porches outside! Great area for day trips including airboat rides through the Everglades.

The San Diego Zoo truly lived up to its reputation as one of the premier Zoos in the country. It was much more than just walking through exhibits, as the entire zoo is laid out to feel like you were in the jungle. One of the most amazing things that we experienced was the "buddy" program; we witnessed a domestic dog actually playing with a cheetah. Apparently they put the animals together to socialize the big cats. Amazing!

Lots to do and see for the family! Mom loved shopping on Rodeo Drive, and the teenage boys couldn't stop gaulking & taking pictures of all the fancy cars - it was quite a hoot. The Hollywood sign and celebrity manson tour was great too. The tar pits downtown LA, Walk of Fame, Pink's Hotdogs, Santa Monica Pier, saw the Hollywood and Rose Bowls, Georgeous strolls - all in 3 days! The weather can be moody in January (last minute flights are cheap so check the weather), but we hit it just right w/T-shirt weather.
