The Best of France and Italy

When it comes to owning a car, Americans love those German and Japanese automakers. I wouldn't even recognize a Renault, Peugeot and Citroen if it drove up next to me. But, Sunday at the park, there was a lovely gathering of French and Italian car owners to display their sweet rides. For more about the best of check here: http://www.franceanditaly.com/

LA3D Classic Heli Fun Fly

In this city, there's a valley. And in the valley, there's a park. And in the park, there's the Apollo XI airfield. And on the airfield, there's a gathering. And at the gathering, there are model aircraft demos, vendors, and the helicopter that flew Michael Jackson to the hospital. The green grass doesn't grow anywhere.

Lake Balboa

Smooshed between two golf courses and an army base, this Sepulveda Dam runoff is 27 acres of amoeba shaped lake on which you can fly fish, pedal boat, or BYOboat. There's a mile long path around the lake lined with charcoal grills and family picnics. On any given day you're sure to find an inflatable moonbounce accompanying a birthday bash, bikers, joggers, and mariachi music echoing from all corners of the park.
