There are many perks of being a teacher, and one of them is having a substantial amount of time off during the summer. The question is, “What will you do on your summer vacation?” My family and I decided against taking a holiday that involved boarding a plane, so whatever we do or wherever we go, it is going to be local, or within the borders of our beautiful state, California. There are so many lists available on the internet with ideas of things to do in and around Los Angeles, so I did some research and made my own summer of 2015 bucket list of things to see and do.
1. Visit the Spadena House √
Today we took a walk in Beverly Hills, yes, zip code 90210 to visit the Spadena House, on 516 Walden Dr. This quirky crib is only 4 miles away from my home. I had no idea it existed and I am thrilled I got a chance to see it today. For more information on it’s history visit:

This house is also called the Witch’s House, since it resembles something witches from Disney movies would live in. The property features a picket fence, which consists of warped, wooden slabs, and window shutters jutting out in odd angels. The landscape is purposefully bizarre, complete with twisted trees and gnarled shrubs. Their is even a wooden bridge crossing a moat, and a sign hanging from a lantern that reads: “Witch’s Landing.” The property is truly magical. The details on the entire house are awesome, from the droopy roof to the signs posted around the property. There are also fake crows out on the yard to add to the creepy-ness. It’s hard to believe this place actually exists on a street lined with mansions. This house seriously belongs in Disneyland. A visit to the Witch’s House on Halloween would certainly be interesting!
Put some variety into your life and go and visit The Witch's House,
but remember not to eat the berries.
