California vacation over winter break - need advice & recommendations

<p>Love the 29 Palms Inn </p>

<p>Also a nod to the Santa Ynez area. I love the central california landscape (the wineries and shopping are fun to boot)</p>

<p>A few weekends ago spent a weekend in N. Lake Tahoe with my 2 sons - hiking, cooking, playing games, and music.</p>
