It’s about time I get out of the Los Angeles area. There are great towns around LA that can give you a mini vacation without making a dent in your wallet, or taking hours to get to. Long Beach is roughly two hours south of the city of stars.
The Original Lobster Festival is going on next weekend, September 10-12th and tickets range from $13 for a one day adult pass to $50 (and that includes a giant lobster)
Scrolling the site you’ll notice there will be a ton of live music at the event, and they have the kids covered with magician and other child friendly events.
In addition, the Belmont Car Show is happening the 12th. But while you’re staying local, check out these other wonderful treats Long Beach Offers:
Queen Mary
Aquarium of the Pacific
So after your Labor Day vacations head down to Long Beach to eat some lobster.
