Duh ! Haha in all seriousness, it's such a big ship with so much to offer. There are numerous tours and so many delicious restaurants/cafes.

Always a pleasure to visit any time of year. The bride and groom have only visited once together but have talked about it ever since. A favorite spot of Peter's is the Lorikeet cages, so be sure to pay them a visit!

It is 100% worth your time to take the ferry out to Catalina Island for a day. There's so much to do and see on the island that you really could spend a week there.

A quirky set of three small islands connected by a series of canals. It makes for a scenic walk, but there are also gondolas that you can hop on to take a dreamy ride down the many waterways.

Great area to rent some bikes, walk around, and get fresh air!

Tours of a ship that served in three wars!

Historic home and museum about the history of California

Where he proposed!

Oh yeah, it's also historical...and it served as Doc Brown's house in the Back to the Future Franchise...and it's gorgeous...and they always have low-cost tours going!

The house was originally located on the other side of the street and about a block down but was moved here sometime after filming completed. It's owned/run by a real estate business now, so you can't wander around inside (they only used the outside for filming anyway), but it's a fun landmark and you can easily walk up to the house and take photos.!

Just down the street is Lorie's house too! 1115 Oxley St South Pasadena, CA 91030

And the "Halloween Hedge" is located here 1019 Montrose Ave, S Pasadena, CA 91030

Sprawling gardens with countless species of plant life and amazingly curated museums - we spent a whole day here once and couldn't see it all! Their tea room is also known to be very good and the libraries are top notch for scholars all over the world.

Home of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses and a beautiful rose garden

Beautiful area with different types of art for everyone - our personal favorites are the copies of Rodin's sculptures but they also have gardens in the back, tons of classical paintings, and various pieces from the world over.

Julia's first official job in LA was working as an usher at this historic theater! It was a dream come true and nothing will compare to living in this space for a short time. All the major touring productions come through here after finishing their Broadway runs, so definitely see what's on while you're in town!

Gorgeous, expansive park with dozens of trails and landmarks. There's no bad direction to go if you want to hike or get a good view of the Hollywood sign, but if you're in the mood for a museum they have many of those too! Be sure not to miss one of our faves, the Disney Barn, which usually has free public Sunday hours, and the ruins of the Old LA Zoo (the newer functional zoo is also nearby).

A beautiful outdoor mall that will give you a concentrated dose of "LA life". Great food too

Beautiful street lined with good food and great shops. This is the first Salt and Straw location that Julia was introduced to by her brother Matthew, and it changed her life. Peter has had to put up with it ever since LOL

Gorgeous museum with something for everyone! (Psst and it's always free, just pay for parking)

A cute food hall with something for everyone, and wandering up and down the street will yield great finds as well. Plenty of shops and eateries to explore, plus across the street is the historic Culver City Hotel where the munchkins stayed while filming the Wizard of Oz! (sometimes they let you see the rooms that are still sized proportionally for the munchkins' needs, but their bar alone is gorgeous if you just want to bask in Old Hollywood charm for a moment)

That recognizable pier from probably half of the shows/movies you've seen! It's typically very busy, but it will give you a concentrated dose of "LA life".

LA-famous bakery that people come away talking about - I've never had a bad pastry or meal or drink here. If you continue up and down Magnolia Blvd you'll find endless interesting shops to explore as well, including some that resell old prop pieces and costumes from famous movies!

One of the best museums we've ever visited and constantly look for excuses to go back to! It labels itself as an auto and music collection, however we believe it's so much richer than that. You'll be surprised what you learn from the tour guides - they're all amazing!

Everyone has a strong opinion about ramen, but this is our personal favorite. We've been to dozens of other ramen shops in the country, and we still say this one is the best!

If you have a favorite musical artist, they probably have a section about them here! While they have rotating exhibits all the time, there's always something interesting to see whether you want to dive into the beginnings of music development in America or exclusively listen to whatever's new.

Awesome bar-cade with tons of classic arcade games and a great drinks selection

Our favorite apple picking spot! They are open all year, so even if the apples aren't ripe for picking you can see apple blossoms or taste local honeys or play carnival games and shop around

Our favorite getaway spot - if you have time in the area before/after the wedding festivities, definitely check it out! Relax by the water, wander the main street, eat some amazing food (our favorite cafe is Copper Q, so tell them we said "Hi!").

AKA the "glass church" is a beautiful structure tucked away into the trees. The idea was to be one with nature, so if you don't look carefully you might miss it! It was built by Lloyd Wright (son of Frank Lloyd Wright) and is affiliated with the Swedenborgian Church of North America. Now it serves as a memorial to the 18th century scientist and theosopher, Emanuel Swedenborg.

The church has also been featured in a number of shows and movies: "The OC", "The Rockford Files", "Innerspace", "90210", "Endless Love", "Revenge", "Lucifer", and Pentatonix music video "Amazing Grace" just to name a few.

Also, Jayne Mansfield was married to Mickey Hargitay here in 1958
