| Renting bicycles at the Annenberg Beach House |
Now that summer is winding down, I wanted to make a short list of a few of my favorite things to do in the summer in Los Angeles. These are the highlights we try to hit every year.
Mostly for Kids
 |
| B talks to Mr. K, her favorite actor, at SummerSounds. |
 |
| Arthur makes an Argentinian mosaic in the SummerSounds craft area. |
 |
| Beatrice is interviewed about her craft. |
Hollywood Bowl SummerSounds concert and craft series - this was Beatrice's fifth year attending!
 |
| Jazz concert picnic |
Jazz concerts at
Descanso Gardens
 |
| The Descanso turtle and koi pond |
The
Annenberg Beach House - includes a pool, splash pad, and sand play area, among many other things
A lot of places play outdoor movies for kids, including
The Americana. A lot of pools (including the
Rose Bowl Aquatic Center and
several public pools in Burbank) also have "dive-in" movies where you can swim while watching.

 |
| On a bug hunt at Kidspace's Insect Festival |
Plus all-year places like
Kidspace, the
Natural History Museum, and
LACMA have special summer events and programming.
Mostly for Adults
Independent Shakespeare at Griffith Park. This year I also saw several other outdoor plays around town, including
She Stoops to Conquer and
Lady Windemere's Fan.
Classical theater at the
Getty Villa. In fact, I'm going to
Prometheus Bound this Thursday.
 |
| All-night vampire movie marathon, midnight-6am, at Hollywood Forever Cemetery |
Cinespia at Hollywood Forever. This year we saw
Interview with the Vampire in the cemetery at midnight.
Grand Performances - live music, readings, talks, and movies downtown
626 Night Market. This was our first year going to this and it was incredibly cool and - though I hate using this word - completely authentic. It felt just like being back at a night market in Asia.
