The Getty Center

Last Thursday, Bill took us to The Getty Center, a free museum open to the public. We went with some friends from school too!

Olivia is riding the tram from the parking garage up the mountain to the beautiful center.
Drew, Berry, Kristin, Daniel, Gabe and Bill
Olivia and me.
It feels like the top of the world. This is from the 2nd floor patio of an art gallery.
Kristin took Gabe on a guided tour and Bill took Olivia to the gardens so I could go look at Van Gough's Irises in peace:) And also, the other rooms and rooms of J. Paul Getty's personal art collection.
If you look closely, you can see Bill and Olivia in the bottom right corner.
This place is just truly life-giving and fed my soul.
Berry got Gabe to sleep!
Whoever holds him when he goes to sleep, wears him for the next 2 hours! I think they looked at art while I took Olivia to see some art and to the family room.
A place for kids to draw, read, and explore.

Bugs!

How long did it take to get through the museum? It looks like Olivia was in her element - exploring. Berry was lucky - she got to cuddle with Gabe.

So happy that you liked the Getty!! I went there a year before moving to LA and loved it so much - I remember thinking, "This may be a once-in-a-lifetime experience." But it wasn't! It's one of the things that made me happiest about our move here.
