My mother just retired from JPL as the Chief Technologist in the Engineering and Science Directorate.
As someone who has lived in So Cal for my entire 60 years on this Earth it's fun to see it through the eyes of someone experiencing it for the first time. Thanks for you fun vlogs ❤
The sheer variety of natural beauty in California is amazing. Deserts, beaches, alpine mountains, rivers, redwood forests, etc.
I like when haters hate on Cali.
@@dilbertdoe601yeah people only talk about Los Angeles and think all of California is bad smh
@@BRUH-lf2ss Specifically Skid Row. They never bring up Malibu or Palos Verdes for some odd reason.
@@ramonalfaro3252 are northern cali
If we only got rid of those pesky democrats it'll be utopia.
And you just visited the small section of southern Cali. There is so much more. The terrain, climate, people are as different and diverse as visiting other states.
I'm glad you enjoyed In N Out. You seem to grasp what it is, a fast food burger but done about as well as a low cost fast food burger can be done. I've noticed that people who are disappointed by it usually had expectations that it would be something more than fast food.
It's simple, done well. No truffle oil. No fancy ingredients. It's a burger like you would have gotten 70 years ago with quality ingredients. Many people dislike the fries because they are used to ultra processed modern fries. In N out fries are simple. Fresh sliced there at the restaurant, fried and salted. Simple. Ask for crispier if that's what you want.
I think people miss the point when they just have an In n Out burger on the left and say, a Shake Shack burger on the right and come away with, “ I don’t get the hype” about In n Out.
Honestly the burger is great but America has a lot of great burgers that are comparable or better to some people’s tastes.
The popularity of In n Out is due to the quality, freshness, value, customer service, consistency, and cleanliness of their locations. I’d say a Shake Shack burger is just as good or even arguably 10-20% better but it’s 2-3x the cost and they don’t have the same level of service. Californians have a special place in their heart for In n Out because they’ve been so consistently good for decades, across nearly all their locations. It’s not because it’s the undisputed #1 burger in the world.
Also, you have to order off the secret menu and get Animal style fries. I can totally see why their standard fries would be underwhelming to some.
Yes Five Guys or Shake Shack are great but cost 2-3x INO.
@@themoviedealers a five guys opened near me a few years ago. They’re gone now. The InnOuT is still there. Cos five guys was twice the price !
Yes Marie California has everything. So much to do and see. It is a natural wonder. It’s great you’re having such an awesome time. I know JPL had to be sooo cool for you.
Hi Marie. Your beautiful videos show what’s truly great about America. I would love to go to JPL. I’m sure it was awesome.
wow so cool to think we were just minutes away from each other without knowing it. I live about 20 - 30 minutes away from Pasadena and work all over as an electrician Beverly hills , Brentwood , Malibu , Pasadena . So i'm glad to hear you liked it in Southern California 🥰🥰 it has everything cant wait for more on your trip , I can see you have so much you want to share and are holding back 😄😄😄
It looks like your life has lifted off like a rocket at JPL! I hope it's a wonderful ride kiddo.
So happy you had such a great time. If you ever get to Houston, Texas then you can tour NASA here also. Be safe and have fun.
I love that you visited Pasadena!!! My family lived there when I was a kid. It's fabulous. I don't live there anymore (too expensive!) but it will always be home for me. The experience of being able to theoretically go skiing and hang out at the beach on the same day is a classic LA vibe. People seriously underestimate the natural features in Southern California. JPL is super cool. For better or worse, it's not a coincidence that the TV show "Big Bang Theory" is set in Pasadena. It's a pretty "nerdy" place. Looking forward to seeing you do California again!
I'm glad you got to catch a sunset from the beach. I have watch thousands from the beach and I have never gotten tired of it.
Folks, she happy in Cali 😁
Nothing as beautiful as a California sunset!
I'm not a religious or spiritual person, but standing on a CA beach during a sunset, feeling (not just hearing) waves crashing down on the Earth, I can almost understand it. You feel connected to the Earth and the universe. The seas, the land, and the sun, in a seemingly beautiful cooperation for a brief few moments.
An Arizona sunset
Nope, it's not impressive.
@@gracedagostino5231 There are much better sunsets than in Cali.
@@gracedagostino5231 Utah, Tahiti, S. France, Amalfi Coast, Maldives etc...
The reason In-n-Out is so popular in California is only because of the quality of the burger for the price you pay. If you ate the same exact burger in a normal sit down restaurant you wouldn’t think much of it (and maybe even consider the taste of the burger just alright), but because it’s coming from technically fast food, the burger is way better than what you would typically expect from a fast food place. It’s the convenience and the great price of the food (and the amount) you get that makes it so popular (and yeah the quality of the meat helps it too). And you’re right, it doesn’t matter the time of day - it can be 10 in the morning or 10 at night, there will always be a big ass line lol
Great video Marie! Glad you enjoyed the JPL and Venice Beach. I’ve been to Los Angeles a few times to see the Mets play the Dodgers. I’ve been to Manhattan and Hermosa or Redondo Beach, (I forget which one), and I checked out the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I also had In-N-Out Burgers in Valencia (near LA.), and at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. They are good burgers in my opinion. I saw the Hollywood Sign too while driving the 101 Freeway with my brother on vacation. Glad you had a great time in SoCal (Southern California). I look forward to your remaining videos from there, and then from Québec. Prends bien soin de toi. À plus.
I'm happy to see you enjoying yourself, Marie. It looks like you were having some fun.
I hope you are well and the recent trouble in France didn't affect you. Take good care!
California is like it's own country. It has beaches, mountains, rivers, forests, deserts, ect, and they're all a few hours drive from each other. Places in the future I suggest you visit: Newport Beach/Huntington Beach Pier (this is what tourists imagine California is like all over, "The OC"), Little Siagon in Orange County (many of the Vietnamese still have strong French influence in their restaurents and cuisine), Harwood Lodge (it's a Sierra Club huge cabin in the mountains. It's very affordably priced). The Queen Mary in Long Beach.
Don't forget Santa Monica Beach / Pier
In-N-Out burger is an iconic burger joint. I had my first burger there in 1976, they keep the menu simple and the burger's are tasty. My son and I both live in southern California. When he was a little kid we always went to In-N-out. My son and his GF took a 2 week vacation to France in May and loved every minute of it. We were both saddened to see news reports of rioting. America had similar problems in the summer of 2020. We both pray that things settle down and return to normal soon.
Salut Cosmique fille Marie 👩🚀✨
LA welcomes another angel to it's shores.
Setting out , those Pastries looked as yummy as the ones back home. A beautiful little canyon , the streams so crystal clear & tranquil , the first ranger house was built not far from there by judge Benjamin Eaton who also the first to grow grapes along the slopes. You've found a wonderful haven there.
From what you showed , the JP lab exhibits looked amazing ,there doing great work pushing boundaries with robotics & sending out probes to further our understanding of the solar system , Juno sent back some impressive images of Jupiter cloud tops recently while exploring its moons. It's something special having a personal tour from Todd , what a generous guy with the tasty treat 🥧 cool posters & stuff, nevermind about their policy on not filming , we've been checking it out virtually online.
While driving out to Venice , the highways do have a reputation for being hectic with numerous car chases , where's ponch & getraek from chips when you need them , at least you'll weren't stuck in a jam & it didn't look like much smog. The beach's 🏖️ a fun hangout with its free spirited vibe , hopefully it's on its way back since they cleaned it up. Gold gym legendary where Arnie made his name along with huckmania , ultimate warrior & sting , there was a Mr & Mrs bodybuilder contest on muscle beach recently on the 4th. When you go back don't forget to give german in Venice a call he'll show around all the best spots with plenty of famous stories to tell. Glad you got to try a tasty 🍔 that wasn't from the usual chains, that changed your mind, you do have to be careful, good thing your particular 😋 . The beaches along with their sunsets are always so gorgeous , were all pleased that you've made more happy memories out there. Looking forward to you discovering more delights from the golden state & going back to great white north.
Take care & stay safe & watch out for that anti privacy bill 📱if your traveling around Paris , liking the animi poster. Thanks for everything Marie God bless 🤗 💕✌️
Hi Miss Marie !!! As Always it's absolutely Great to see you Enjoy our Humble Country !!! Please remain aware of your Surroundings, remember to keep water, sunblock & Hat for your exploration while staying safe & Having Fun !!!
The like button 🔘 has been Illuminated!!! 😁👍👍😎🌞
So happy you visited and enjoyed Southern California. In-N-Out is my favorite.
You are seeing the best bits! The southwest and the coast are the most spectacular
Hi Marie!! I'm sorry this comment is late, but I finally am at my desk and was able to watch this entire fabulous and amazing California Marie Video 🥰! The first thing is that I was so excited to see your Super Space Intro for this video - Marie, that was fantastic, and then you mentioned it right away - you're right, it is special ("fantastic Keith and a paw of Harper") 💕❤!!! That was quite a change for you on your Rainy Pasadena day, so I am so glad you got a pretty day to show us here. I loved your pastry and coffee shop beginning, and then you found the lovely green small mountain landscape, and were able to film at Eaton Canyon, which was SO beautiful (& I Love seeing you in your western hat too 🤗🤗)! That was a really cool walking bridge over the canyon, with that pretty and rapid flowing stream you went by (you seemed like you were enjoying this so much - which always makes me so happy for Marie!). I also loved that you found those green hills before your amazing Todd-led JPL Tour - WOW 😲😊😍❗You sure did start with a bang by seeing the Europa Clipper that is planned for its Jupiter trip for October of next year - that was so cool for you to show us 🤗❣ I will next watch the "It's Quieter in the Twilight" movie documentary you so kindly linked us to!! (Marie, you gave us so many cool links, even to the Europa live - wow - Thank You so Much Marie for these extras on top of your wonderful video ❤) I saw the Charles Elachi Mission Control Center (He got his Physics and Engineering degrees from the University of Grenoble, France, and he was the director of the JPL 2001-2016)! Seeing the control room was so cool, with its "deep space network." I loved your JPL pin or medal and your Solar System Trading Card 🤗. We saw the planets from Mercury to Earth, "Our Cosmic Connection," cool Mars rover pictures on its surface, the Asteroid and Comets, and the Universe pictures, along with a Rover itself and the Juno and other Spacecrafts 😵😃!!! You know, you are quite a Colorful Infrared Young Lady, Marie 😍😇! WHAT A TOUR❣ I happen to love In-N-Out burgers (ate them with my sister out in California) and I am so excited you loved their "fast food," which is known to be extremely fresh, top quality beef (NEVER as good as your mom's ❤, but maybe as good as can be otherwise 😃)! Five Guys is a chain just like them (ranked #2), that you can try when you get to Austin 😉. Even their milkshake was really tasty - YAY! - and then Todd baked you that Key Lime Pie (which, by the way, is almost the same as the Lemon Pie Recipe I sent you that my grandmother always made 🥰) - I am SO glad you got to taste that (my second favorite after the lemon pie, lol 😉)! Your drive to and through L.A. showed the big city with big buildings and the Hollywood Sign too, along with that traffic accident (I LOVED your advice: "Life's short! Drive Safely" - YES - I always follow your advice and I'm sure you do too! 😇😃). You showed us the painted building on Pacific Avenue and a Red Marie Mustang - cool!! - and then took us to see beautiful Venice Beach, and even the pretty birds there!! With all that sand, I was happy to see you got the chance to draw with your foot again 💕. You even caught a guy hunting with a metal detector, and what in the world was that pretty dog carrying ?? 😃 The palms were beautiful on the green knoll with the big lamps, and you showed us a great picture of the U.S. and the California flags flying together 🤗. Those cycles were each a different color, and of course, you caught the California skate boarders 🛹. What a beautiful setting this was, and yes, the west coast has some nice, strong ocean waves crashing on those rocks! I thought it was pretty cool to watch that bird swoop down, land on the wet sand, and then proceed to outrun the incoming wave until it was on the dry sand, safe from the wave 🥰🥰. And the man with his dog in the water at sunset was such a nice moment to close with 💕. Wow, you even took in a UCONN vs S.D. STATE NCAA basketball championship matchup! Marie, you do so much wonderful work with these captivating videos of your trip that you gift to us, so thank you so very, very much for this amazing Cali video😇❣ I am looking forward to your Sea World video (and am loving your lenses from up north 😉), and in the meantime, please be safe and pretty please Take Care Marie 🙏❤🥰❣
Great that you got to see JPL. I didn't when I visited LA back in 93 (last century) but one day I hope to be able to see it. Looking forward to your returning to do another video of it. I was always a huge space nerd growing up. And I guess I still am. Also I really liked Pasadena. I stayed with friends who were doing their PHD's at Caltech. It's a place I'd be happy to live, assuming I had a LOT of money.
Who would have thought a French girl making videos on the east side of the US would get an offer from someone on the other side of the country to have a private tour of JPL if they just happen to be in the area. Just think of all the other places you might get to see because someone is watching your videos. Marie, your reach is further than you think.
🥺🥺🥺
Hi from Alabama, I'm enjoying your southern California trip, i was stationed in san diego. Your videos brought back some wonderful memories, thank you very munch. Keep making your great videos.
JPL looks like it was great fun to see. Glad you had the opportunity to see it and make good memories.
We are so happy you are enjoying the USA ! There is so many more interested places/people here to visit !!!
Really nice video Marie 👍 So glad you had a wonderful time at the JPL and enjoyed your burger. Can't wait for the next video. Take care of yourself 🙏❤️
Yes, In n Out is a fantastic fast food burger. It's not a complex gourmet experience... it is simple fare, done to a high standard, which is why French-trained chefs and Hollywood celebrities and regular people out here all enjoy In n Out.
The meat isn't frozen, and it's actual beef (not extruded whatever). The ingredients are fresh & taste like they are supposed to (which limits their geographic range to places where they can source the quality of ingredients on a daily basis). It's all done by hand when you order it. They put the senior people (the managers) on the grill, not the juniors, so the beef is cooked to a certain standard. The lettuce still has its crisp texture because it's made when you order. Same goes for the tomato, which (thanks to their ability to source quality tomatos) has the taste and texture that you expect from a tomato.
There are more amazing burgers out there, yes, but you have to appreciate the simplicity and the quality of the product. It's all those little things, done to a high standard, that make In n Out a very good experience.
Marie, it's awesome seeing you geek out over JPL! You got to see where so many amazing things happened, and you knew someone who gave you a private tour! You're sooooooo lucky! I loved seeing you enjoying the mountains and streams in California. It's interesting what people think of that State and when they go and experience it for themselves, it's a completely different adventure. In-N-Out is something most of us take for granted. They even have a secret menu. It's awesome that you got to go to Venice Beach and experience a sunset there. I think the thing I love the most about it is seeing how you react to it. You're truly a treasure and it's fun watching you react to what you're seeing. Keep up the great work and keep smiling!
Loved ❤the great 👍 soft music 🎵 13.34 by the beautiful beach 🏝️ love ❤️ lady on the beach 🏖️ enjoy 🙏👋☮️
Hi Marie, I’m so happy that you’ve experienced America in so many ways! Please show your friends in France and come back soon!
I remember from your previous video how you drove from Sab Diego to Pasadena! I was windering wehy you went to Pasadena at all! So, now I see why, You had met online a guy who works at JPL. Well, I use to work at JPL also, the second half of the 70's and early 80's. I started right at the end of the Viking project, the first land rovers on Mars. The next project was the Voyager one, with two launches that are now both way outside our solar system. I, along with another half a dozen guys maintained the three mainframe computers at JPL.
I worked there for 7 years, and lived in a neighboring town called La Crescenta, 7 miles west of JPL. There was a new freeway that started from my exit to JPL, a 7 mile stretch of freeway that was always empty since it did no go thru yet past my exit. So, it took me about 10 minutes to get to work! Also, they inserted a gold disk in one of the Voyager spacecrafts, and it was built like a vinyl record, with groves, only it was made out of gold! On that they described where the Earth is, a lot about life on Earth, and the names of all the people that were involved with the Voyager project, so my name is floating out there in space!
So, it was great that you met up with Todd and were able to see some of JPL! I see you also went to In-n-Out Burger, which is great almost everywhere! We lived up the hillside at 1,800 feet, and near the bottom, on the main cross street, there was an In-n-Out Burger there. Back then, we saw them cut up the meat into burger, and cut and slice the potatoes for the French fries. I do not think that any of them prepare their own meat anymore. But they are VERY good burgers. My wife eats them like you, as you showed us, full of stuff, but I eat them plain - just the meat and cheese and bun. Also, we always get the Double Double - 2 meat patties and 2 slices of cheese. About 6 years ago I was in San Antonio, Texas, and their In-n-Out was terrible, but all the others I have been to have been outstanding.
My kids kind of grew up in LA, and we went to Disneyland 3-4 times a year on JPL nights, where it cost us just $6 a person for a full night of entertainment at Disneyland. We would leave at 1AM, and the kids would fall asleep immediately in the car on the way home. Also, I think the first Frisbee Golf park is right next to JPL in Pasadena, and we would go there often at lunch time and play 9 or 18 holes, if time permitted. So, I am surprised you when to Canada next. Why didn't you just stay in CA longer? And where in Canada did you go? To Montreal so you could speak French?
I also watched your videos down in San Diego, and we have been to the San Diego Zoo many times, and what you called the Safari Park, which use to be called the Wild Animal Park. It is huge, but too hilly and a bit difficult to get all around. We have taken the tram that goes all around, and that gives a nice perspective of the park. But the Park is in the middle of now where and the drive it not an easy one to get there either. I video taped the Cheetah run when I was there last about 5 years ago. Did you get to see it run? I am also waiting for your Sea World video! In LA they use to have a place called Marineland, right on the ocean, which had a very large tank 4 stories tall that housed to very large Killer whales - Orky & Gorky. But it shut down about 30 years or so ago.
Great short video here! I followed you all thru AZ, where I moved to in 2000 from CA, and I was familiar with a lot of the places you went. In fact, my brother, who now lives in Houston (previously lived in San Antonio), came out with his girl friend for a week visit in early June (on D-Day June 6 - and I have watched your VERY touching video on the US memorial site in Normandy), and we took them to the Grand Canyon, and 2 days later to Sedona. Sound familiar?
Todd is my uncle and you just nailed him as a person! He is so generous and passionate. I mentioned wanting to visit and he sent this over for me to watch and it was awesome to get some of your experience!
Awesome 😆
Great you visited my "stomping grounds". Lived there a total of 42 years.
Thanks Marie, can't wait to see you speaking French in Quebec!
So happy you got a special tour of JPL. For those outside the US, JPL is the home of US unmanned space missions. The equipment and facilities are owned by NASA and the employees work for the California Institute of Technology.
The In and Out that you visited is two blocks from the first house I lived in here in Pasadena. Have fun in Canada 🇨🇦. I hope you get to visit Banff. Alberta has the best mountains in North America.
Bonjour Marie, you outdid yourself with the intro. That was definitely Frenchtastic. Bon travail! The rest of the video was awesome too.
I've never had an In-N-Out burger. It looked delicious.
I wish I was able to create such wonderful intros! My friend made them ☺️☺️
@@FrenchTasticExplorations That's very kind of you Marie to give credit where credit is due. Your friend is very good.
The Hollywood sign was originally Hollywoodland and was a promotion for real estate.
So glad you got to enjoy some nature while you were there. Did you get tired of seeing Mustangs? Stay well and looking forward to the next video.
Never! 🏎️🏎️
Everything is getting better and better in your videos. Now you have me curious as to who is and who isn’t allowed to film in JPL. 🇫🇷🇺🇸✨✨🔭
Wow that was a great intro. Looks like you had an awesome time on the JPL tour. Beautiful sunset video on the beach. Can't wait for your next video.
That is so cool that you were able to tour the JPL! When I was in college it was my dream to work at JPL (my degree is in Astrophysics) but things just didn't work out that way. Thanks for another great video Marie. I always look forward to your videos because they make me smile to see you enjoying yourself so much!
Another great video Marie. You enjoy so much of what some of us take for granted. I love the JPL side....reminds me of the movie The Martian with Matt Damon. If you have not seen it is a must see. As a youngster I got to visit Kennedy Space Center in Florida. I think you would enjoy that. Keep up the amazing work/fun and lifetime experience videos.
I'm glad you enjoyed JPL. I got to work with them on a couple of projects over the years, and it was always nice to see how enthusiastic the JPL engineers are about their work. I was used to all of the "space stuff" :) I saw there, but one of the things that surprised me about the JPL campus was leaving work in the evenings and seeing wild deer grazing on the lawn outside some of the buildings. I didn't expect to see that in Pasadena.
glad you got to explore a bit more of cali, got to see jpl and even in-n-out!! in-n-out is very 50-50 with people so it's good you enjoyed it haha
So lucky to go to JPL. Glad you got to enjoy it.
The mountain areas are something you should try to visit too. The Sierra Nevadas and the Rockies are gorgeous mountain ranges
She would be in Heaven up there.
4-5 years ago I took the tour at JPL. Loved it, took too many photos but that's okay.It was difficult to edit the photos down though🙃
Bonjour Marie! Thanx for sharing! Loved the into. Hope you are doing well! Bonne journee! ~Be Blessed
And no one offered you a surfing lesson?? and no seashell hunt?? You continue to impress me with your sharpening video skills and I don't think I ever saw you smile as much in France as here. So, what's your new favorite food-and let me say there have been times I would almost have killed for a good Key Lime pie (I usually cut them into 4 parts) So, guess I'll see you on the tour!
Hopefully one day you'll get to provide video footage of a JPL tour. This sounded very interesting! 🚀👨🚀 Also, getting pretty excited about the Canada videos coming up! 🇨🇦😊⚜️
Yep. Succulent does exist in English. I’m so glad you enjoyed our In N Out. Many of us here grew up with it and love it dearly.
So happy to hear you enjoyed our little corner of the world. California is unique in many ways. Very different depending where you’re at in the state. Thank you for stopping by! 😊
California, particularly Southern California, is the one spot in the country and maybe the world that you can go surfing in the morning, ride a motorcycle in the desert in the afternoon and go snowboarding at night. I’m not a world traveler, but I don’t think there’s too many places on Earth that you can do that in one day.
Another outstanding video! Thanks again for entertaining us!
Love the video and I love living in California and the San Francisco Bay Area, specifically "Silicon Valley". Hope you will do a video about Silicon Valley/the Bay Area some day 🙂
California is probably prettier, but I'd love for you to have the chance to see Florida, too! It's best in the fall though when it's not as hot and humid. I'm wishing you continued safe and fun travels!!!
Fun stuff! JPL is amazing. Several years ago when my niece was studying Aerospace Engineering at Cal Poly Pomona, I'd always come up for the JPL Open House every year. It was always amazing to see what sort of new stuff they were working on. If you're ever back in "the valley" where Pasadena is, one thing you might enjoy checking out is Descanso Gardens in La Cañada just down the valley towards LA. It's a beautiful place, especially in the springtime like when you visited this year and all the flowers and trees are in full bloom
I guess too late now, but when you were in Venice Beach you should have sought out fellow RUclipsr German in Venice. He has a storefront right on the main boardwalk facing the beach called Mike's Henna Tattoos and he's always there on the weekends. He's out filming videos all the other time. But he may have shown you around because he knows everything there is to know about Venice.
German in Venice caters to people who hate California. He is very popular because people in other states have a need to hate on California. Hating on California will receive far more views and comments from around the country.

❤❤❤ So much to see in California, Marie. Five, I think, climate zones.The SanAngeles area is Mostly desert/beach/foothills. Further north is the breadbasket/wine producing. There's the giant redwoods rainforest. People forget that California has hosted the Winter Olympics. It's an amazing state. It's not mine, but it is amazing. Sorry that your JPL thing was less great than we'd have liked, but sometimes it happens. Glad your burger experience went well. Just another curly W. Til next time
Of the 24 recognized climate/growing zones California has 20 of them.
@@jabreck1934 thanks
So glad u enjoyed your stay in Southern California there are so many ways to enjoy it on many levels I am from San Diego which i saw your visit to my City I hope that when you come back you visit Yosemite and the Redwood Tree preserves , Thank you for your wonderful Videos
Your first in-N-Out burger is a great memory. I had my first one when I lived in Las Vegas and was hooked. They have great burgers.I have watched a few of your videos and I see the same pleasure as I had when I traveled in Europe. You see things you read about, you eat things that are very local and meet people
Nice video. I wondered what the surprise was going to be in Pasadena, which is also known for the Tournament of Roses Parade on Jan. 1 each year, but I know that couldn't be it in July. By the way, I think that bird you photographed on the beach was a Willet, a kind of sandpiper that usually is more inland, but it is possible. The large black and white pattern on its wings in flight and its huge size eliminate other sandpipers as far as I know. JPL sounds like an amazing place (I've been to the Air and Space Museum, and to Cape Kennedy Space Center in Florida). When you get back to California some day, you should consider going to see the coastal Redwoods at Muir Woods National Park and Redwoods National Park, and the giant sequoias, Yosemite Falls, Half Dome, El Capitan (mountains) and the Going to the Sun Highway. Lot more to see, of course And I do hope you get to Michigan one of these days. I'd be willing to be your tour guide here.
How odd, rain in sunny Calif. Enjoy!
Now you need to visit the Pacific Northwest, then the Rockies, come back to the upper Midwest and see lakes that look like mini oceans. Go back to Ohio, the king of Rollercoasters. The Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame, The American Football Hall of Fame, the enormous AND free aerospace museum (Huge). Chicago, Wisconsin breweries. Indy cars. Head to Tennessee for country music, Smoky Mts. Florida. We'll convince you to relocate yet, just you wait and see😊
Great footage. If you didn't get the chance to visit Yosemite or the Redwood state parks (to see the tallest trees in the world), I hope you get the opportunity on your next visit!
JPL! So fantastic.
A red Mustang! That's too bad you couldn't film in JPL. Still enjoyed listening to you talk about it. Gained another five pounds...you know, In-N-Out burger, fish tacos, etc. Love listening to you talk about what you're seeing. Lots of fun. You're a joy, Marie!!! :)
Thanks 🥺
Thank you so much for sharing your videos there’s so much to see in California I absolutely love it there the sunset at the end of your video was so Beautiful 👏🏽
i live in michigan so we dont have in and out burger here but i went to las vegas at the end of february and had it twice and it was great
Eaton canyon is a nice hike. Especially when we've had rain and the canyon is green and the river is flowing.
Such a joy to watch.
Welcome to our state. Hope you have an amazing time. ✌️
I have a friend of 30 years that works for JPL, very cool you got to visit.
Very interesting jet propulsion lab .Thank you for this video ...🚀🚀🚀
Very glad that instead of a Manic Monday you had an Awesome Monday! Love your new end title piece!!
Good to see you again, kid.😀
You got lucky this year in how much moisture both California and Arizona got. Also get a VPN you can accesses anything that way!
Even with my VPN I can't access the movie. The 90 day exclusivity window in the US is almost over anyway 😊
@@FrenchTasticExplorations that's odd. I've never had a problem accessing anything anywhere I've ever been on any continent. Like you said it's almost over. Wait No I take that back. i had trouble once in Brussels for a bit.
California is beautiful a lot of fruits and nuts LOL. I lived in El Centro for about 1 year after US Army. I hope you enjoy it! Stay safe!
Yeah, fruits, nuts and over 400 different agricultural commodities,
Including being number one in dairy production in the United States.
CA is ranked fifth in the world for food production.
Hello Marie, very awesome intro 👏. JPL sounds very cool. Closest I ever got to CA was Yuma, Arizona lol.
🥳 The exciting part is that there is so much more yet for you to see, not only in California, but in the Rest of North America! ✈🙋♂️
Amazing music in this
3:48
Beautiful!
Yeah CA has some of the most variable terrain, and climates, beach, dessert, scrubland, forests, mountains, plains. And various combinations. Probably the biggest attraction to CA IMO.
People complain about the cost, but TX is just as expensive, its just more hidden costs there.
LA isn't about the downtown, though that can be fun, it is some of the different neighborhoods. And each really have their own feel.
In-n-Out is definitely fast food, but the difference is that everything is fresh, made to order. There is no freezer and no microwave. Even when crowded, it is fast because they have a small menu, which is more efficient.
Sounds like you, and Tod ❤ Had a really great time. Lol 😂
As it has become summer in Southern California, most of the green has gone away. The creeks drying up also. You came at a good time. Still higher in the mountains it’s very nice. Hopefully you explore them sometime.
great vid Marie!! I love your reactions ))
we don't have any in-N-outs here in Chicago, i want one lol
Good stuff. Glad you had a good visit.
Hi Marie
so glad you liked in-n-out! i read an article once about how do you know someone is from california and one of the items was 'they never shut up about in-n-out' lol. i always get my burger 'animal style'. i accidentally forgot to order it that way once and the burger tasted too plain before i realized i messed up my order haha.
SoCal how to get around: beach that way 45 mins, snowy mountains that way 45 mins, deserty hiking mountains that way 45 mins, the desert: that way 45 minutes, islands that way 45 mins.

Hello French Tastic, I'm glad tat you visited J.P.L. In-and-Out Burgers is top of my list if I visit California. Did you see Arnold at Venice or Muscle Beach section? He used to be there everyday exercising. There is a fine movie about Venice Beach that includes a bit of Arizona. It's called " Romy and Michele's High School Reunion (1997). Having been to both places you might get a kick out of this movie.
Hmmm I don't think we saw Arnorld 🤔
@@FrenchTasticExplorations Here is a favorite video from Arnold: RUclips video: Arnold Pranks Fans as the Terminator...for Charity
@@treetopjones737 That's right he was visiting there in a video a few years back.
I'm actually amazed how clear the Los Angelos sky was during your visit. For me, back in the 80's and 90's, the air was just a "haze" and the sky looked like a light gray/blueish color, and the entire city smelled awful (varnish, car exhaust, and an overall stale, grungy stink). Maybe they recently had some consistent rain to clear it up. That, and the traffic, were the primary reasons I ruled Los Angelos out as a future settlement for me back then.
We had a "40 days and 40 nights" winter tin California his year. From New Years Eve until the end of March, California was hit by 13 atmospheric rivers on succession, sometimes coming 2-3 in a row without a break in between. Massive flooding; levees broke; over ten meters of snowpack in some places. The reservoirs that had almost completely dried out over the last three-year drought all filled up so much that the water managers had to release a fair amount of rainwater to open up room, for fear that the snowmelt would overflow the dams. There were days that I feared the rain would never end :-(
That stream in Marie's video? It was almost certainly bone-dry last year.
Please tell me you visited Yosemite when in California. It's a must-visit.
Next time you visit the U.S. again, you should visit New Orleans Louisiana and Then come to Texas and visit San Antonio and then drive north to Austin then Dallas/Fort Worth and then head north into Oklahoma up to Oklahoma City
