NEED HELP – Daughter's School project — what top 10 things represent California?

My daughter is doing a project where she has to collect items that represent her state – and that is California… We can use a mix of photos, small models, actual items and real items. they need to represent history, geography, manufacturing and climate.
She has come up with the following so far

jet plain model – representing the military aircraft manufactured in CA

Pistachios (SP) nuts grown in CA

a mat with a gold star on it

the box she made to bring her project to school in is the HOLLYWOOD hill with the sign on it –

We have a firefighter helmet – to represent the wildfires as well as that her uncle and soon to be aunt are both CA firefighters.

She has 2 suspension bridges she put together from her train set to represent the GG Bridge

Any other suggestions would be great – … thanks
it can also represent toutist attractions , farm products… what ever really I guess… Thanks again for any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreicated!!!!

Has anyone else noticed that the pistachios that are easiest to eat are also the best tasting?

I’m talking roasted and salted, in the shell, not counting the odd nasty ones.

Seriously, the ones in the bag that fell out of their shells are the best, and rarest.

The ones thta you can just pull out of the shells are next best, followed by the ones that are easy to crack open, then the ones that are hard to crack open, and the ones you have to use pliers or a knife to open aren’t even any good – barely worth the effort.

I like saltier, toastier pistachios.
They weren’t on sale, but I definitely came home with a few pounds today. Nuts are equally delicious as more processed salty snacks, but I feel less horrid after eating them in my preferred glutonous quanities.
