The Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens are simply beautiful. The library hosts many important artifacts from history. Included is an original Guttenburg bible. But above all, the Huntington Library offers an incredible Botanical Gardens. Gardens and vegetation from around the world cover the large area. An Austrailian section details the dry desert gardens. The Japanese Garden is simply unbelievable. A peaceful pebble garden rests next to a wonderful collection of bonsai trees. The Huntington Library is a great day trip for a wonderful walk.

i was on my way to golfsmith to buy a putter with my 15% new membership coupon when i decided to stop by IDG. that was the best thing i ever did. i checked out their putters and Jim was very informative about all of the putters there. i spent about an hour checking out different putters and finally decided on the taylor made itsy bitsy spider. golfsmith was selling it for $200 but i was going to use the 15% off coupon there so that it would be $170. IDG was selling theirs for $179 but Jim and Dale were up front and told me that the coupon exluded all major brands including taylor made. i checked the fine print and they were right! Jim also took the time to show my girlfriend some womens clubs and gave her some tips at the driving net that they had. i even got to demo a driver from them! you can't beat the customer service anywhere. i'll be getting all my golf toys from there.
Pros: customer service, excellent selection, they have just about everything, service!!!
Cons: none at all

I have visited this museum several times. It is free for students and the parking is also free. What more could you ask for? There are a lot of bronze sculptures throughout by Degas. The museum has an extensive collection of Degas works. This is a very good sized museum. It is not so big that you are overwhelmed (a la Getty) but is large enough so that there is plenty to see. My favorite is a painting of a garden by Monet called Artist's Garden at Vetheuil. Pictures of it in books really do not do the work justice.

This place is great. The price to get in is cheap and my son had a blast. Parking is free too. Do bring extra clothes for your little one because there is a water play area that is a favorite of my son. This museum is indoors and out. My son likes the dinosaur dig area. They also have an insect/bugs kitchen where your kid is the chief. Get to grub on some creepy crawlers which make the kids laugh. Outside is nice. They can ride trycles or do arts and crafts. Just a little fyi...no strollers inside.

No, this is not a formal "museum," but it is an impressive collection of faux fur bunny rabbits nonetheless. You have to appreciate the obsessiveness of this rabbit-loving couple. In only ten years they've amassed a thorough collection. $1 or $2 is pocket change.
Pros: bunnys galore
Cons: by appointment only

The Pacific Asia Museum is located inside a replica of an imperial Chinese palace with a green tiled roof. It is a fitting building for all the beautiful collections of asian artifacts they have housed within. Even the courtyard ouside is beautifully landscaped with meticulously manicured bonsai and serene ponds. The museum also has a small store selling some asian themed merchandise and books.

Getting a good pair of shoes was my first step towards training for the LA marathon. The staff at Run With Us was very knowledgeable and professional. I basically told the man what I was going to do, he looked at my feet, watched me walk, and then brought out some shoes that would be best for me. I've never purchased shoes this way (usually pick the cutest ones). I was encouraged to buy a pair of Pearl Izumis, which isn't a common running brand, but they fit 100% better than any other shoe I've worn and have held up great. I was also encoraged to get the blister prevention socks. Run With Us gave me a discount for being a memeber of a local running club as well. I highly recommend this store.

I really enjoyed going here. They have all kind of equipment for sports. I thought the place was kind of small and it had a lot to offer though. Prices are cool and reasonable. The location is good because people can easily see their shop. The building looks pretty nice.
