Moving to Southern Cali

Hi everyone!

In just five short days Wasabi and I will be California girls!  We are moving to the southern part of California (Long Beach for those who know the area).

I haven't lived in California in ages (it's been about 15 years), can anyone give any suggestions on fun things to do in the LB area with me and my pink pup?

I don't know many people there yet and I figured meeting dog crazied people like myself would be a great start.

Just curious!
