The Getty (Part Two)

In addition to the fantastic art and architecture (oh, and you can't forget the tram!), the Getty has a great garden!  Bright, colorful flowers, plants, green grass, a stream, and even a maze.

What is your favorite museum?

The Getty (Part One)

I didn't realize how much I love the Getty until I returned with James.  The last time I'd visited was just about 10 years ago (whoa...)!

The location is breathtaking on top of the hills, overlooking the city below and the ocean beyond.  Over the city the sun feels bright and pure and the reflection off of the glowing white buildings is mesmerizing.  I could stay up there for hours.  How cool it would be to work at the Getty!

Oh, that lawn!  My idea of heaven would be to grab an easy book, lean against the bright, warm wall, and soak up that golden LA sun!


It was a perfectly spent afternoon!

Happy Fourth!

Happy 4th of July!  Stay safe!

*This photo was taken two years ago on the 4th.  Such a fun holiday!

Keep Moving, Moving, Moving!

"The great thing in this world is not so much where you stand, as in what direction you are moving."  [Oliver Wendell Holmes]

I just love these shots from Egypt - everyone in motion!

James and I are heading to the coast tomorrow for a friend's wedding and then spending Sunday with our dads, starting with breakfast in the Bay Area and ending the day with a barbeque back in town.  I hope everyone enjoys this weekend! 

Happy Friday!

Sun Cravings

 It seems as if I've forgotten what blue skies look like.  Do you need a remedy as well?  So, what do you say?  Let's go to...

Palm Springs!

(Pictures are a little blurry... but that may just be some sunscreen you got in your eyes!)

 

I'd give anything to be poolside at this gorgeous mid-century home!  I can almost feel the warmth of the sun...

  

I'm determined to stay here someday!  If only it could be this week!

Sunny Sausalito

After our hike in the hills we stopped in Sausalito for lunch and we soaked up the sun!  The weather was so gorgeous and calm and it was such a nice reprieve from the clouds and cold of Spring. 

We found this outstanding burger place and enjoyed our lunch overlooking the bay with the city in the background.  It couldn't have been a more perfect day!

We took a stroll through the streets of Sausalito while enjoying an ice cream cone (I had mint chocolate chip, of course!) and I stumbled upon a great book store, my weakness.
