"At SRG, we believe lifestyle is all about choice, independence and savouring daily experiences," said Johnson. "We're looking forward to showing our British visitors the many varied experiences and extraordinary amenities our communities and the surrounding areas have to offer."
While the Gregory's daughter lives in North Carolina and they have visited Florida, this will be the first time the couple has visited California.
