Peace and Awareness Labyrinth and Garden

If you're looking for a beautiful oasis in the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles, Peace Awareness Gardens is the place to go. It's a beautiful mansion, with lush gardens and a very relaxing labyrinth. It's completely free, and easy to find (if you're using google maps, don't use the maps app on the iPhone).

Gehry House

My mom and I really got a lot of stops in during our adventure in LA. The best part about it was that a lot of the stops that we made were completely FREE. The Gehry house is a unique experience, can't go inside, but the site alone makes you wonder. In the sea of beautiful homes, lies a deconstructionist style house, made of recycled items. It's a massive property as you see when you get there that it almost consumes the entire block. This house is located on the corner of 22nd street and Washington. It's a fun little trip to take if you're in the area

Beverly Hills, CA

If you want to experience a different side of life take a stroll down Beverly Hills. Walking down Rodeo Dr. you see all the high end brands. If your not necessarily in the market for ultra expensive high in duds, a nice stop at Sprinkles Cupcakes are always a fun treat. A fun art walk is also walking down Beverly Hills Garden Park, there are a plethora of interesting sculptures.
