I'm going to Escondido, CA! Where should i go?

[Hoplander]

Heading to Escondido January 10th - 17th. Obviously, Stone, it's bistro, farm and brewery are all on my list. I also plan on going up to LA for a day. What else should I see and do while visiting? Both beer related and un-beer related?

Thanks in advance for the suggestions!

I should also add, this is my first trip to California. I'm born and raised in NJ. I'm jumping in the Pacific regardless but how cold will it be?

Also, I plan on bringing beer home. Any tips?
