With a budget of under<br />

$50, take a nice drive up<br />

Pacific Coast Highway<br />

to Huntington Beach. It<br />

is only a 30 minute drive<br />

which is about 25 miles<br />

from Saddleback. Parking<br />

may be a little hectic depending<br />

on the time you<br />

arrive, so try to find a<br />

parking lot that isn’t too<br />

expensive. Some parking<br />

lots offer a $15 all-day<br />

pass, that is, if everyone<br />

w<strong>an</strong>ts to spend the day at the beach.<br />

When it’s time to eat, walk over to Fred’s, a Mexic<strong>an</strong><br />

restaur<strong>an</strong>t known for authentic cuisine. It’s reasonably priced,<br />

<strong>an</strong>d especially good for groups of more th<strong>an</strong> three. An average<br />

meal costs around $10, but a combo meal is great to split<br />

for only a few dollars more. If <strong>your</strong> friends w<strong>an</strong>t a sweet treat,<br />

walk down the pier to Ruby’s <strong>an</strong>d grab a shake. If the sun is<br />

out, bring <strong>your</strong> suit <strong>an</strong>d a volleyball <strong>an</strong>d just h<strong>an</strong>g out at the<br />

beach. Would rather not lounge? You c<strong>an</strong> shop around the<br />

m<strong>an</strong>y stores for some clothes, shoes, or just a cup of coffee. It<br />

is a great, inexpensive way to have a barrel of fun not too far<br />

away from home.<br />

Summer is approaching <strong>an</strong>d if you <strong>an</strong>d <strong>your</strong> friends have<br />

saved up some money for a real <strong>road</strong> trip, try heading north.<br />

Destination: S<strong>an</strong> Fr<strong>an</strong>cisco. It will take about seven hours to<br />

get there, depending on the traffic since it’s 430 miles away.<br />

Once you arrive in S<strong>an</strong> Fr<strong>an</strong>cisco (after all the pit stops for<br />

food <strong>an</strong>d gas) stash <strong>your</strong> luggage in <strong>your</strong> friend’s apartment<br />

that you will be sleeping at or check into the hotel you<br />

booked. Depending on how m<strong>an</strong>y nights you pl<strong>an</strong> to stay, the<br />

Golden Gate Bridge, Pier 39, <strong>an</strong>d Chinatown are all must-see<br />

hot spots for <strong>your</strong> weekend adventure.<br />

Craving seafood? Try Mayes which costs about $15 per<br />

meal. If you are staying<br />

with friends, they will<br />

know some great places<br />

to go for fun <strong>an</strong>d food<br />

that may not be known<br />

to everyone. Take a<br />

ride on a cable car. Get<br />

swept up in the energy<br />

of the unknown. Make<br />

it a trip to remember.<br />

Gather up the g<strong>an</strong>g,<br />

pack up the car, get<br />

on the <strong>road</strong>, <strong>an</strong>d don’t<br />

forget the camera to<br />

capture it all!<br />
