It’s Time for Labor Day!

Labor Day weekend not only a time to take a much-needed break from work; it’s also a time to reflect on the economic and social achievements of the hard working Americans of the past and present. We have some holiday weekend suggestions in case you’re still trying to figure out what to do!

In Fountain Valley, CA, there are wonderful places that are not only fun but educational for both the young and old. One of these places is The Reptile Zoo! Everything from alligators, to bearded dragons, to fish, to turtles.. you name it, they have it! It’s also incredibly interactive as you can pet most of the animals there and even feed them too! If the heatwave leaves you needing to cool off, Huntington Beach is just a short drive away. Swimming, surfing, paddleboarding, or just wanting to walk along the water’s edge, the beach has something for everyone if they want to spend their time outdoors in the fresh, salty air.

Regardless of what you choose to do this Labor Day weekend, we here at Serena Vista Apartments hope it’s filled with nothing but fun. Be safe out there!
