Our Day In LA!

Wow, I am finally able to blog again! I'm still in San Diego, and my parents' computer has been having major issues. I haven't been able to upload any pictures onto my blog until today! I've figured out that two of the most annoying things in the world are:

#1- Really slow internet when you're used to high-speed cable

AND

#2- Live TV when you're used to a DVR

I'm going crazy!!!

Anyway. . . guess where we went just a couple days before Christmas?I was reminded why we don't go to LA very often. . . it took 3 hours each way in traffic to get there! And we didn't spend much time in Hollywood, but we did get to eat yummy nachos at the Pig 'n Whistle Restaurant and stop by Grauman's Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard.

I got to put my hand in the hand print of Gene Kelly, my favorite dancer ever!

There's not a whole ton to do on Hollywood Boulevard, but after that we headed to the Getty Museum- Southern California's biggest and best art museum. And it's great because after you pay for the parking, the museum itself is free!

So here it is. . . a picture of me looking pregnant. :) This fountain is at the Getty Museum.

I was a humanities major in college with an art history emphasis, so I have spent many hours studying and analyzing great works of art. I loved being able to go to a museum again and see some beautiful works of art, even though I felt kind of dumb because my art history knowledge has most definitely faded. I just can't remember everything I used to know!
This was one of my favorite paintings in the museum. . . done by the English painter, Turner. It's just gorgeous!

They also had some wonderful paintings by Monet and some of my other favorite Impressionist painters. I love Impressionist art!

The museum sits up on a hill, so there's an amazing view of LA from the museum!

It was a really fun day, even though it was a looooong time spent in the car. We can all be glad we don't have to deal with LA traffic every day!
