Gorgeous Getty Center

For our Los Angeles adventure, Julie planned a trip to the J. Paul Getty Center, a museum nestled along the hillside near the 405 with a spectacular view of the city, and art in the form of the most elegant landscaping ever. The grounds were gorgeous, simply beautiful on a pleasant autumn day in southern California. It was thrilling to see some world famous paintings by artists such as Renoit, van Gogh, Degas, and many more. I hope to go there again some day with my husband, and be able to spend a lot more time taking it all in.

We had an excellent guide on our garden tour and this was where it ended.
Four sisters--Valerie, Tracy, Kelly, and Julie, all exhausted at the end of the day. We miss you, Marc!
We tried to take the architectural tour, but the guide went AWOL.
I want one of these in my backyard!

I never made it to the Getty Center. It is beautiful. You have such a beautiful family and looks like y'all had so much fun. How neat that you got to take a trip together. I really like that tradition!

I didn't know you went to LA? I love the Getty, one of those sky scrapers you can see from the Getty I used to work in. The 7th floor of the Bank of America building in Westwood. Beautiful pictures. I am sure that had so many neat exhibits right now and the grounds looked beautiful. What did you think of Hollywood?

These pictures are beautiful Kelly. I love the Getty museum they have some fabulous exhibits. I didn't see the grounds extensively, however, and it looks like I missed some great views. I'll have to check them out when I go home. What a fun family trip
