Need a weekend escape from LA within driving distance

Hey all,

I will be getting my master's degree in three weeks and I need a reward.

My husband and I were thinking of a weekend getaway to celebrate.

We've already been to Vegas and Solvang and are looking for other weekend destinations within driving distance.

Have any ideas? I was thinking San Diego.....

What's wrong with heading for the airport? Seattle? Vancouver? San Francisco? Even NYC! Each can be done on a 3-day weekend. Congratulations!

Two words: Santa Barbara!!! Splurge at one of their many nice hotels.

San Diego is cool too!

Not sure of your budget, but here are some "splurge" ideas...
Four Seasons Aviara - Carlsbad (San Diego)
L'Auberge Del Mar
Marriott on Coronado Island
Four Seasons Biltmore - Santa Barbara
The Simpson House Bed and Breakfast - Santa Barbara
El Encanto - cottage only, Santa Barbara.

Congratulations and have a great time no matter where you go!

There are so many wonderful places to go to....Santa Barbara, Catalina Island, Palm Desert (before it gets too hot),all of these would make a wonderful get away and you could stay somewhere real nice.

Ojai or San Luis Obispo/Cambria (wine tasting options galore)

Palm Springs will be too hot in 3 weeks - 100 degrees today with the temps climbing each day.
