Traveling in California on a budget...?

I live in California and my dad says we can go away for Spring break. And not out of California...California isn't exactly the funnest state ever...We've already been to Montrey Bay(About 5 1/2 years ago), We already been to Manteca, Sacramento and We live less than an hour away from San Fransico. I'm not giving up. And LA/Anahiem are out of the question... My dad HATES the heat. Which brings us to the question why we live in CA? Because he hates the cold. Anyways, not too cold not too hot. Any ideas?

In spring anaheim will be beautiful weather....60s and 70s not hot at all....I reccomend you go there.
or tahoe??

I agree, the spring in Anaheim is not usually that hot. If you want to stay close to home Yosemite is a good option. The scenery is beautiful and there's great hiking. I would also suggest Santa Barbara. The heat is definitely not an issue in Santa Barbara considering it's on the water.

How about Mammoth Lakes? It's perfect for spring break. Even Palm Springs is nice. Just make sure you check the road conditions to these places if you're driving there from Northern CA.

Truckee is really nice, as is all of Lake Tahoe/Donner Lake area. It's really fabulous, especially the downtown area of Truckee... cute little shops and restaurants along an old Western looking strip, dogs galore! Lovely. The temperature differences can be a little extreme, though... around spring break, the highs will be in the 50s, but the lows could get down to the 20s. So if you want to avoid the cold, then only go outside when the sun is up. All the same, it's a great time of year to go. Warm enough during the day to hike, walk around, shop, etc (and the snow will be melted on the low lands, so you won't be treading through snow)... but cold enough at night to keep snow on the ski slopes to go skiing for a day or two if you want (and from experience I can say that it's VERY pleasant skiing in 50 degree weather wearing just jeans, a t-shirt, and a light sweater). Basically, all of the mountain areas are great around that time of year... Quincy's another good choice. It's also cheaper and will be warmer around then (probably in the 60s during the day, 30s at night) and has many similar attractions (albeit not as many, and it's more of a local vibe).

Also, Santa Cruz is really nice, and will be warmer (more of a beach getaway).

Besides, most of California isn't that hot... I don't know where YOU live, but you have to be somewhere around the Bay Area... it never gets that hot. Try living in the midwest with 100 degree weather and 80% humidity for a week straight, then bitch about California being "hot". It's also not cold... once again, go to the midwest and deal with a week straight of single-digit degree weather then call California "cold". Also, while California irks me in many ways, it's one of the most geographically varied states in the entire country (if not THE most varied)... everything from the most cosmopolitan of cosmopolitan cities to quaint little European-style towns to secluded wooded and mountain towns with populations of 200 people to all out hick/farming towns with trailer courts. Beaches, desert, mountains, prairies, farmland, and cosmopolitan cities all within a few hours of each other. There are definitely options.
