Monterey soon fell under American power in the Mexican-American War and remained the capital of the territory. A delegation of writers drafted the constitution which marked the entrance of the State of California into the United States of America. This era saw the mass northward migration of ambitious people in search of gold, which led to a near desertion of the town. Monterey soon recovered, however, and today is known for its magnificent natural beauty, world famous Aquarium, and temperate year-round climate.

popular attractions in laguna beach and madison

The folks in Wisconsin Historical Museum got their veterans museum exactly right. I do not believe there is another museum in the entire Midwest that quite captures the depth and breadth of Civil War to Iraq War artifacts as well as this one. In addition to its vast array of well preserved weaponry, I was very impressed with the museum's extensive Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) collection. For staying, select cheap hotels in Madison. My husband and I were staying in Laguna Beach at the Casa Laguna. We wanted to do some wine tasting while we were in CA but didn't want to drive far. Casa Laguna recommended this little gem. It was a refreshing way to spend the afternoon, and we bought a bottle for the evening. I will definitely be purchasing more wine from them in the future! We really loved the Chardonnay that we purchased. For staying, select cheap hotels in laguna beach only.
