My husband, 3 and 1 year old and I would like to drive somewhere for Thanksgiving weekend since he has 4 days off. I am thinking of southern California, but don’t know how crowded the theme parks are or what else there is to do that isn’t too crowded. Are there any deals in California that’s less then 6 hours from Las Vegas?

Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park is great for Thanksgiving. They put out a fabulous dinner. However, it will be crowded and the hotels will be pretty expensive. (you may not be able to book one at this late date.) San Diego is very nice and the weather should be good. There is plenty to do and the whole family might like the world famous zoo. If you go take the tram, don’t try to walk it with two children. You can go on line and book a reasonably priced hotel or motel. You can drive it in about six to seven hours.
Lake Havasu and Tucson are nice. Tubac is only an hour’s ride south of Tucson – great day trip from Tucson! This, of course, if you want to venture into Arizona – I highly recommend. Also, if you haven’t been, Sedona and Jerome.
the theme parks will be crowded during the thansgiving weekend and you definitely don’t want to stand in those lines with 2 babies! how about san diego or santa barbara if you want to stay in CA. I just can’t think of anyplace to go for you, but it’s always nice to just get away and relax in a different setting- especially when you have young kids! I lived in LV for 9 years and I can sympathize with wanting to get away for a few days! I left there 6 years ago and couldn’t be happier! Have a great holiday!
