Summer is already in full swing. A lot of people are hitting the roads for the July 4 holiday — AAA says roughly 3.3 million people in the Southland alone. That’s more than the number of people who took off for the Memorial Day weekend. And the agency says most will be driving to their destinations.
If you’re thinking about heading out of town and you only have a day to do that, Krista Simmons, a travel writer and the host of Fork in the Road podcast, has an idea for you. Fill up your gas tank and head to a little town in the Santa Ynez Valley called Los Alamos.
