What are Orange County’s most famous attractions? At a guess, I’d rank them something like this:
- Disneyland
- Knott’s Berry Farm
- Christ Cathedral (aka the Crystal Cathedral)
- Mission San Juan Capistrano
- Huntington Beach pier
- Richard Nixon library
- Balboa Island
- Little Saigon
- South Coast Plaza, a famous shopping mecca
- Other
- stuff
- The Great Park balloon
I don’t have pictures of any of the other things, but I do have a picture of the balloon. If you’re ever in Orange County, come on out and take a ride. It’s a tethered balloon that goes up 400 feet, that being the length of its steel cable, and the view at the top is…OK, I guess. Be sure to check the weather first, since they halt balloon “flights” at the merest hint of wind. Tickets are ten bucks.
