Going to LA this weekend...

Thanks to the Travelocity gods, we'll be landing in LA at 8am PST Friday. We're going to a wedding on Saturday and our return flight is at 6pm Sunday. We're not into the Disney-type tourist traps so was wondering what we can cram in on Friday and Sunday afternoons....

Depends on what you are into. I like the La Brea tarpits and museum on Wilshire It's right near the LACMA as well if you are into art...

Or you could try take a drive up Mt Wilson and check out the observatory if you have time.

I really liked the Getty Center but the LaBrea Tarpits were also very cool.

They drove for miles and miles on those twisty turning roads, higher and higher and higher they climbed
