California Traveling (2/Jan ~ 16/Jan)

I traveled to California (plus Las Vegas) during winter break with my brother.
It was such a good timing for me since I was so bored (and scary too) in the dormitory that I couldn't stay in the dorm anymore. Another reason is my brother has to go to army in this Feb to serve the military service which is mandatory thing for every Korean man. So I thought it might be the last chance that I could go traveling with my brother because both of us will be busy after my brother finishes his army service.
The reason to choose California was just because of the weather. I had to get out of the chilly winter in Minnesota!!
To begin with, I wanna share my traveling schedule which could be a good guide for someone. I sometimes skipped some plans but my brother and I decided where to go on the basis of this schedule and it was so helpful to save time.
