"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences."
-Gordon B. Hinckley

The Getty!

We had a blast Saturday! We woke up and decided to check off something we have been wanting to do for a loooong time (I have been, but we have never gone together).....
The Getty
When you get off the freeway you are routed to park in a parking structure and then take this tram up the hill to the museum...
It was such a gorgeous day to be there, and explore the grounds.
This is a great water feature.....the water comes down this long path (as shown in the photo below this photo), and then drips down to the 2nd floor. : )
We loved discovering all the little touches The Getty had to offer.


Mapping out our route : )
At the entrance to the photography exhibit was this very large horse, that we had to get a photo of.

The inside of The Getty was just beautiful and brought us back to our museum visits from our trips to Europe!
There were so many chances to go outside and enjoy the amazing view! I think we must have gone outside about 5 times from all sorts of angles to see what we could see. : )

Westwood and Downtown LA in the fuzzy background : )
Just a few of my favorite painting sightings were these 3 below:

Monet
Van Gogh
Renoir

It was such a beautiful day, we keep going outside to be in the sun--and it was very very sunny! : ) We loved our time at the Getty and are so excited to go back and see the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit that opens this week!!
After we left The Getty, Brody wanted to take me to an Argentine restaurant that he discovered one day while working in LA. Of course it would catch his eye since he served his mission in Argentina!
This great little place called 'LA LA's' in West Hollywood. It was such a nice place, with great fresh and flavorful foods, at a reasonable price! It was really fun to try some of Brody's favorite foods from his mission! : )
As we walked in there was a notice of filming taking place at some point that day, although we never saw anything---it's just that fun vibe LA has. : )
Below is a photo I took from my phone from our table : ) We love all these great restaurants in LA that are much more like cafes you would find in Europe.

Homemade Dulce de leche Flan....this was amazing!! : )
It was SUCH a wonderful day!! I love our random fun adventures!! : )
