Cali ART Trip 2010

My mom and I just love to travel. This year we took the college art trip down to LA again and we took Allison and Christian with us. They were both surprisingly well-behaved! We went to several places and the weather was absolutely gorgeous. We visited:
The Huntington Library
The Norton-Simmon
The J. Paul Getty
LACMA
Redondo Pier
The Getty Villa
Disneyland
Forest-Lawn

Here are some highlights from the trip!






We bought Alli her "Jesse Friend" that she has been asking about since Christmas when Buzz and Woody came to play. Alli was finally tall enough to go on Splash Mountain ( a moment of silence please) and she "tolerated well" as we nurses would say. She was scared but felt safe with me. The reason you can't see us in the pic is cuz we are in the very back- that is her leg in the upper left corner. Alli's favorite place was probably the beach at Redondo Pier. She kept saying, "Mom, I gotta stay in this dirt." Instead of satisfying me with a little vaca- this trip made me just want to go again. I think that is what seeing so much art does. You get a taste and then you want to take another bite. There was an exhibit on Leonardo Davinchi (spelling?) and it was just amazing. That man had some talent. The Chinese Gardens were open at the Huntington, which we had never seen before- beautiful water feature. We really had a great time and Alli was such a good girl. She is turning out to be such a good little traveler- hallelujah!
