Sit Back Saturday

O.K,, by now, Travelin’ Local’s loyal readers know the drill. Today’s the day that we bring you some of the best of LA out there. From that vast place, otherwise known as the “Blogosphere.”

For our newest readership, our goal is to save you time from having to scour the Internet for cool stories, in addition to your daily work, personal, professional and family life responsibilities.

Indeed, we bring you content that’s fresh, bold, and interesting from this past week’s websites, news, and blog posts, while you were busy dealing with life’s necessities.

So, grab a cup of coffee or beverage of your choice—hopefully you’ve not started to hit the “Brews” yet–and enjoy today’s edition of Travelin’ Local’s Sit Back Saturday.

And for most, Saturdays are often the day people like to go hiking, take a bike ride, or do a little window shopping.

For today’s Sit Back Saturday, here’s some ideas for your consideration:

• Today’s ride, in which bike friendly Santa Monica actually was: Enough said.
• A Few Tips for Drivers to Enjoy a Day at the Beach in Sunny Santa Monica: Santa Monica’s beach is world renowned, but driving to it, finding parking, and then paying for it, can be a hassle. Gary offers an alternative.
• Green weekender: Beaches, bikes, and Ballona Creek cleanup with Bass: With so many activities happening each weekend, consider some new ideas to relax courtesy of our very own Green LA Girl, who has several up her sleeve.
• Malibu’s Charmlee Wilderness Park: An Easy Stroll with Ocean Views: If you’re thinking about hiking this weekend, Malibu sounds like it’s the perfect place.
• Seasons of Southern California: Two excellent photos showing the difference between the summer and winter here in beautiful Southern California. Yes Virginia, we do have winter here.
• Flower Farming in Los Angeles: Yesterday and Today: The title is a dead give-a-way, ya think?

So now you’re armed, ready, and willing with some additional ideas for added fun and recreation this weekend–that is, if it doesn’t rain; and even then, it doesn’t mean that some ideas on the list are to be X’d.

If it does, and even if it doesn’t, here’s one more cool idea for your Saturday fun:

• Free Tastings at Book Soup Signing: Featuring food journalists behind the book EAT: Los Angeles 2010 at Book Soup, which includes free food. That’s definitely a cool place to hang out tomorrow.

When Travelin’ Local, rain or shine notwithstanding, Los Angeles has just about anything to do that’s suited for your needs and wants.
