🌴 Spring Break Adventure: Long Beach with Kids! 🚢✨
Why Long Beach? Booked a cruise and decided to extend the fun with 2 nights in LB—walkable, kid-friendly, and packed with charm! ✈️ Flight Hack Southwest Airlines: Snagged $130 round-trip (San Jose → Long Beach)! No assigned seats – Families with kids <6 board after Group A (no seat-separation stress!). 🏨 Hotel Perk Hyatt Regency: 30K points for 2 nights! Prime location: 10-min walks to food/attractions. Swan Boat credits – Glow-up night rides on the lake! 🦢💡 🎪 Must-Do Activities 1️⃣ Shoreline Village 🌈 Colorful cottages = Instagram gold! 📸 Pink-house ice cream = kid magnet 🍦 Harbor tours (1hr) – Lions Lighthouse views! 2️⃣ The Pike Outlets 🎡 Shopped at Nike/H&M + rode a mini train & Ferris wheel! 3️⃣ Aquarium of the Pacific 🐧 Pet sharks, jellyfish tunnels, and adorable sea otters! 🍽️ Food Notes Zero Chinese food – But solid Thai/Cajun via DoorDash.
