Watch The Planes Take-off And Land At Van Nuys Airport: Secret public observation area.

In this short video from EncinoMom Productions for Secret Encino, Lisa Keating shows you the little known public observation area for watching the planes take-off and land at Van Nuys airport. Enter on Daily Dr. off of Woodley Avenue and park in the lot. Open from 8 am til dusk the area is fenced and offers benches, play equipment and some shade! What a fun play date for wee ones and no entrance or parking fees!

Stain Boy.

Step inside the quirky, dark mind of Tim Burton at LACMA's exhibit of his work since his boyhood in Burbank. Appropriately, closes on Halloween!

Target Parking Lot

Okay, here's a shot of the Target parking lot on Friday at 5 o'clock . . . PM! Oh Yeah! You're probably thinking the store was dead, but no - it was business as usual at the bustling retail establishment. My secret? Park on the 6th floor. The sky's the limit! Shhhh! Don't tell anybody.

Arm Chair Arm Chairs

Spotted at a recent art show opening in the tony town of West Hollywood, Sam Senack appeared wearing her art on her sleeve - as it were. This fabulous ink, designed by the artist herself, wraps one forearm in her adoration of arm chairs. So clever, lighthearted and whimsical, yet needle-in-your arm seriously permanent at the same time. You can learn more about the artist at: www.SamSenack.com

Here's something you can do with your kids when Putt Putt becomes passé (right before it's cool again)! Spring is a great time to try golf, you don't have to buy anything either! Try a public course like Woodley Lakes. You'll be able to rent clubs (approximately $2 a piece), you can start on the driving range with a bucket of balls (another couple of bucks) or head to the putting green, which is free.

Golf is a game of skill, sportsmanship and manners, so you just might love the side effects, too - you know - like . . . patience, grace under pressure, enjoying the journey rather than focusing on smashing your opponent! (Golf in the Kingdom is a great read on the subject, by the way.) If you enjoy being out there in the fresh air with your family, a few instructional lessons will go a long way toward making the whole experience even more fun.

Enjoy!

Starry, Starry Night

Join us for a visit to the Los Anegeles landmark, Griffith Observatory. The parking lot in front of the Observatory is SMALL, so wear comfy shoes for the steep walk to and from your car! Parking and entrance to the Observatory are both free, but don't leave your wallet at home because you'll want to grab a bite at the cafe downstairs, snap up souvenirs at the gift shop or catch one of the shows in the Planetarium (fees range from $3 - $7).

Take a peek at the sky from the large telescope (entrance on the easterly side of the roof) and gaze at the stars above and below in the dazzling glow of a Hollywood night - while you wait for your turn. There's usually a line, but the view makes the time fly!

Thanks for watching. You can find more info at: www.GriffithObservatory.org

Cupid's Quiver, Or Archery In Encino?

Okay, I'm trusting you! Don't tell everybody about this. On Wednesdays, at 6 pm, in Woodley Park, down a long dark drive past the Japanese Garden, there is a spot of light. Get there early to get your equipment and take a FREE beginning archery lesson. I'm not kidding, it's free, it's fun and the whole family can participate. Well, not infants or toddlers, but the rest of the crew for sure. Recommended for kids from about age 9.

See you on the range. Shhhhhhhhh. EncinoMom : )
