Maybe squeeze Avalon in for the day..you can take the ferry over from Dana Pt..
La Jolla is a must along with Coronado and Del Mar too.

Hi lynsir! I found this while clicking around:
"Sequoia National Park is my personal favorite in California. Sequoia National Park boasts spectacular scenery, giant sequoias and is far less crowded than Yosemite. Located in east-central California, Sequoia National Park is a long day trip from either Los Angeles or San Francisco."

Seven days is not much time to split between LA and San Diego.
Could you give us a bit more information? What are your interests? Food? Museums? Shows? Zoos? Beach?
There is so much to do and there's also traffic to consider. Help us narrow things down for you.

Yeah mlgb I am certainly no CA expert, hah! As I said, I just happened to come across a website naming sequoia as a daytrip from LA area. I guess the website was just plain wrong....
It sounds like youre familiar with the area so Im sure youll be able to provide lynsir with lots of great suggestions!

Definitely include some of the restored missions. Very historic old California.
I would also figure some time to spend near the beach. Venice and Santa Monica near LA are interesting. I also enjoy downtown Los Angeles and might suggest: Olvera Street, La Brea tar pits, Farmers Market, Chinatown, walk of stars and Chinese Theater area.
Getting back to Orange County you'll need to head back south from LA.

Palm Springs would be worth a visit; you could make stops at Joshua Tree National Park and the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway.
When in San Diego, don't miss the San Diego Zoo, a stop at the Hotel Del Coronado and La Jolla.

Travelmaven -
He was going to art school, but unfortunately his high school sweetheart is pregnant...so his plans are now to attend our local Jr. College with the dreams of teaching and doing freelance photography.
It has obviously been a very hard 6 months here - she is due Sept. 6. No plans for marriage right. He works at an Apple store here locally and will go to college...it has been one day at a time for this Mom.
Signed,
Too young to be a Grandmom
