Los Angeles – what’s happening this weekend?

July 19, 2011, 7:36 pm

One of my favorite aspects of living in LA County is that there is always so much to do; some are free.

When I married George, my parents, sister and brother all lived in Glendale. But shortly after, my parents moved to Washington (state) and my sister soon followed. My brother moved around a bit, but then also relocated to Washington.

I have been to visit and yes, Seattle is beautiful, and a lovely place to call home, especially if you like traffic, cold weather and rain. Donate your flip flops and sun glasses, it is doubtful you will use them more than a month or two.

Here are some ideas of ways to entertain yourself this weekend in the Los Angeles vicinity:

“An Evening with L.A. Opera: Music of the Regency” (626) 405-2128
