Southern California has a wide range of activities, depending on the time of year.  During the summer, there are miles of beaches.  In the winter, there is skiing in the Angeles and San Bernardino Mountains.  Angeles and San Bernardino are also home to hundreds of miles of hiking trails in environments ranging from near desert on the north side of the mountains to pine forest at higher elevations.\n\nThere are several amusement parks that are open year round in Southern California: Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Magic Mountain, Legoland, Sea World and Universal Studios.\n\nLos Angeles, Orange and San Diego Counties are all home to several world class museums, ranging from art to history to science and technology.  There are also two major zoos, one in Los Angeles one in San Diego and several smaller zoos and animal sanctuaries with the San Diego Wild Animal Park in Escondido and the Living Desert in Palm Springs being the best of the bunch.\n\nSouthern California is also home to several Indian gaming casinos.  Catalina Island is a short boat ride from the mainland.  Long Beach has a fantastic aquarium.  If you like shopping, there are malls everywhere and several outlet shopping centers in Cabazon, Industry, Camarillo and Ontario.

Reggae on the Bay is cool.  Go out on the Bahia Belle, (the bay boat), dance to reggae music, drink some cocktails, it's fun.\n\nThere's cool nightlife in SD too.  Just too much to list, so I went for fun and not hella expensive.

Depends on what you like to do.\n1. The coast offers a ton of options from golf to deep sea fishing, sunbathing, great eating from Cherry point to Hilton Head and everywhere in between. \n2. History buffs take on Charleston and the Harbor, go to the Citidel, check out some of the plantation trail. Awesome opportunties.\n3. Sport at Clemson, USC, or smaller schools like Wofford/Furman.\n4. Zoo in Columbia, lake there too as well as Francis Marion and several others bordering Georgia. \n\nIf you can't find something to do in South Carolina, you are imobile and boring.

In Southern California, your best bet is either Snow Summit or Bear Mountain (both in Big Bear). I don't think either place has great snow right now, but they're better than the other other local ski resorts (Mountain High, Snow Valley)

Sherman Oaks or Studio City.  Both really nice areas with lots to do.  Shops, restaurants, bars, etc.  Just a very nice place to be and it's also easy to get to Burbank.  No freeways are needed.  I used to do that commute myself.

Make S'Mores!  Sing rounds around a campfire.  Tell ghost stories.  Do arts and crafts from recycled materials.  Make paths and clean up the camp site, leaving it nicer than when you arrived.  Cook hot dogs on sticks over an open fire.  Put on a play, complete with costumes made from old clothes and found materials.\n\nWish I could be there, but I'm in California with no transportation.  Have a ball!
