  You're in West LA, right? Depending on what you or he might find entertaining, there's The Getty [getty.edu] or The Santa Monica Pier [santamonicapier.org].

    Myself, when I'm in that general area, I find McCabe's Guitar Shop [mccabes.com] entertaining.

      Next time I go there, I'll have to ask about this [mccabes.com] :-)

    Actually Santa Monica, but that is close enough.
    
    I hadn't thought about The Getty. I'll run it by him, but I think that his mom would have more interest in his going there than he has in going. As for the pier, I've been there and I'm not sure what the appeal is supposed to be, so I wouldn't be the best guide.

  For me, visiting family usually means a gourmet tour: either Dim Sum at Monterey Park (my favor is Harbor Village [harborvillage.com]), or In-n-Out burgers [in-n-out.com], depending on their mood.

  If he likes the outdoors, go up to Topanga Canyon for

    He's 18. I'll suggest the hike, and if he is not interested, keep note of those places as somewhere for me to try. I'll avoid suggesting any burger places though as I'm not a big fan of burgers. (No matter how good in-n-out is supposed to be.)
