Santa Barbara. Have a simple lunch on the pier is always nice. Griffith Observertory has been remodeled, so its a very nice place to visit. Get there early (weekend), after 9am should be ok if you want to park in their lot and its free. If they are up to it take them for a short hike 1/2 mile to the top of Mt Hollywood. The dirt trail is nicer then walking through someone else's dirt lot. Its the highest point of the city and the view is about 300 degree plus of Los Angeles and the valley. If you make it there, I am working on a house about 1/4 miles south of there in Los Feliz. Give me a shout and I can take you guys to a local place and do lunch. How about a tour of the studio in Burbank? A nice harbor cruise around Long Beach or Redondo Beach. Plenty of places to eat at the beach. They come all the way to CA and they must see the famous beaches. Too bad they are not nearly as nice as they used to be when I was a kid, but it will do.
Pasadena is a little closer to the Chinese communities just a few miles south of there. I am sure they had enough Gwai lo food by now. Take them to lunch at Burger's Continantal on lake Ave. in Pasadena and watch the belly dancer and enjoy a nice lunch. Its middle eastern and not burgers. You can do that too if you like.
