Los Angeles, really? There really isn't a whole lot to do in LA proper. Now, Malibu, Santa Barbara, etc.; but, I would still put San Diego/La Jolla before LA. I would also add Monterey and Carmel to the list. I took my kids there (along with San Fran) last September/October and they loved it. The only place I've been that's not on your list that I would add is Seattle. My list would also include Portland and the Willamette Valley because I've always wanted to visit. Oh, and I definitely want to go to Marfa, TX one day.
