My Favorite Things is a fine gift boutique in Crestline, California, near Lake Arrowhead. I have had the pleasure of shopping here many times. They pride themselves in offering upscale, unique, and, in many cases, one of a kind items for the discriminating lady. Whenever I have a gift to buy for a female in my life, I go here first. (more…)

The acreage this destination has allows you to witness, up close, animals in large chunks of what appear to be like their native environments. (I was only 8 feet away from a cheetah at one point). Plus, where else in Southern California can you spend the night in teepees, in the middle of a park that feels like you are in the plains of Africa? (more…)
