Off-topic, but if you have other free time out there I definitely recommend the Grammy Museum in L.A. We stayed in Santa Monica for a week last summer and loved pretty much every second of it. Most of it was stuff we knew about in advance and expected that we'd love, but we didn't know about the Grammy Museum until it was recommended by a friend who lives out there. It is basically a popular music museum, with many cool features and exhibits. We spent three hours there and could have spent more if we didn't get so hungry that we had to leave to eat. There was a Groupon for discounted admission that we purchased on the day we went, so if you go you should look for that. If the Ringo exhibit is still there, make sure you save some time for that. Lots of really cool stuff there.
