Don’t let the summer pass you by without visiting your local state park! During one of the final weekends of summer, why not visit Kenneth Hahn State Park, located just a short drive from the Gloria Homes Apartments in Los Angeles, CA.

     Whether you like working up a sweat on your free days or just relaxing, Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area has something for everyone! If you like to workout on your weekend excursions, you will love Kenneth Hahn’s seven miles of trails, including a 282-step walk to a beautiful scenic overlook! Or bring your gear and play on the multi-purpose and game fields! On the other hand, if you prefer to relax, you’ll enjoy the park’s extensive lawns and fishing areas, providing a peaceful break from the modern world.

     What are you waiting for? This weekend, pack a picnic, gather the family, and celebrate the end of summer at your local state park!

     Los Angeles County has so many great events, it can be difficult to sift through them and find the perfect family-friendly one. Allow us to help! How about enjoying a summer movie night under the stars, presented by Street Food Cinema?
   
     Street Food Cinema is a series of outdoor film screenings taking place all summer throughout Los Angeles County! However, the events are so much more than a traditional outdoor film screening. Before each movie, a terrific live band puts on a concert, while there are photo booths, costume contests, and other fun activities as well! Also, go hungry, as at each screening some of the best local food vendors and trucks will be in attendance. With showings from Malibu to downtown L.A., and with movies like Grease, The Goonies, and The Hunger Games, you and your family are sure to find the perfect screening to attend!
   
     Why spend thirteen dollars on a movie ticket to sit in a crowded theater, when you could spend the same amount on a ticket to a Street Food Cinema event and have an entire night out under the stars? More information about the events, including dates and locations, can be found on www.streetfoodcinema.com.
 

 

     Did you know that Gloria Homes Apartments is just a twenty-minute drive from one of the coolest locations in all of Los Angeles County? Well, this weekend why not pack a lunch, and enjoy everything Marina del Rey has to offer!

     Start your day off at Venice Beach, one of the most famous beaches in the world, and just a short half-mile walk from Marina del Rey! Enjoy the street performers and food trucks, or simply spend the day enjoying the sun and sea.

Then, after a long day of sunshine, shopping, or both, why not try one of Marina del Rey’s numerous restaurants? One highly recommended dining location is C&O Trattoria, an Italian restaurant with something for everyone!

     With so much to do and see, one thing is for certain: there is something for everyone at Marina del Rey!
