The Getty

I’m not quite sure when the decision was made, but at some point this morning Jess and I decided to jump into the car and head up to LA to visit the Getty Museum for the afternoon. For those who aren’t familiar with the Getty, make sure to visit it when you have the opportunity as it’s a gem tucked away in the hills of Los Angeles that is a must see for those traveling through the area.

There’s something very soothing and peaceful about the grounds of the museum, and we found ourselves spending far more time outside taking in the architecture and the gardens than the art housed within. The facility is situated quite high above the parking lot, from which you take a tram to main entrance. There are no admission costs beyond the $7 for parking, and if it wasn’t for the 1+ hour drive to get there, I think we’d be there far more regularly.

As for the seemingly random photo above - I believe there was some sort of children’s area where kids can make their own masks. There were a number of much younger kids running around with these 11×17 sheets of paper strapped to their faces, each looking more ridiculous than the last.
