Ever wonder what a family outing looks like for other people? We asked Car and Caboodle writer Candice K. to tell us about her family's favorite places to visit in LA.

Shopping: The Farmer's Market on 3rd and Fairfax. There is something for everyone at this famous LA landmark marketplace.

Dining: Canter'sDeli. Don't ask me why but my kids love love love this place!

Play:  On days when we cannot go to our local park, we hit the play area in the Westside Pavillion Mall.

Educational:  We're looking forward to taking the boys to the Peterson Automotive Museum

Entertaining Out of Towners: La Brea Tar Pits (you don't have to even go in the museum if you don't want to).

I live in a town where your whole being is judged by what you drive. Los Angeles is a place where you have to be cool, while simultaneously appearing not to be trying to be cool.

Let me give you an example: to the enlightened Angelino, a brand new road-chomping one-hundred-fifty-thousand dollar Porsche Carrera is merely of a manifestation of an insecure ego, whereas a sluggish old four-cylinder Porsche 912 speaks of... well, effortless coolness coursing through your bloodstream. Forget performance. Image is everything.  The difference between the two vehicles could cost you a second date with the uber babe of your dreams.

Okay, I hyperbolize.  Truth is, I haven't had a second date with an uber babe during the last ten years I've been married to my wife. Except her, of course. Still, even though my hair has disappeared and paunch expanded, I'm still acutely conscious of my slowly waning cool factor.
