I thought you might be interested in knowing that the Petersen Auto Museum is really quite a trip from Laguna Beach and perhaps you may want to go there on one of the days during your Venice Beach stay.

This is just my own personal opinion, but on account of the traffic going to the Rose Parade (most of it will be the closer you get to Pasadena), I'd allow 1 1/2 hours minimum to get there, possibly 2 hours.

You're going to have a very wonderful and very busy itinerary while you're here - enjoy!!!
