I know it sounds creepy to got to a cemetary for an outing, but you should go to Forest Lawn. There is so much to see! First of all, the view from the top of the hill is one of the best in the city. Next, there is so much art to view, from a replica of the statue of... More

It's beautiful to drive through and stop by and walk around a bit. Also, there is a nice little museum on property to check out.
