This world famous Green & Green designed and built home, was the winter home of the Gamble family (Proctor & Gamble). Everything is custom, hand-made, and priceless. One of the best examples of the Craftsman era! And featured as the Professor's home in Back To The Future.

Local gem of a park! Lots of places to walk and be in a natural setting. The oaks are always wonderful. During the Holiday season you can also check out Enchanted, which is a nighttime walk through the gardens with beautiful decorated lights and some activities.

One of our favorite places! Lots of gardens, libraries, exhibits, and good food, too. You can't see it all in one day, but it's fine to wander and explore as you see fit.

12 min drive from our house. Close to Descanso Gardens.
This is our "go-to" restaurant. Mexico City style food. Everything is made fresh daily including tortillas and a variety of salsas. For the kids, we usually get quesadillas and ask them to add shredded carrots and black beans inside. The vegetarian rice is delicious, but probably a little too spicy for kids.
The Chiles Rellenos and Moles are really good!
A margarita will keep you from driving for a bit - or you could share one. :)

This is crazy good gelato! A little pricey but you're saving the airfare to Italy! You can split scoops, especially for kids. But you might not want to. Leo Bulgarini, the owner, is a food perfectionist, and you can taste it!
