The Getty Museum

Knowing that children rarely have any appreciation for fine art and also knowing that our children are especially loud.... we have put off taking the kids to the Getty. It is the finest art museum on the West Coast and houses Monet, Van Gogh... and billions of dollars worth of fine art. I found out that my good friend,Kirse from high school, was on a panel for an event being held there and couldn't resist the chance to go see her....since it had been over 14 years.
The event was completely booked and there was overflow of about 50 people. I didn't have a ticket, but really wanted to see her... so I "worked" my way into getting a ticket for a press seat. While I was in the event... Dan took the kids through the museum. They seemed to actually enjoy it and little Heidi complained because she had to leave each room too quickly. I'm telling you that girl has some sort of fashion/art/fine things gene in her.


Reed pondering.

A fabulous view of Los Angeles from the museum.

Two of my favorite things.

Todd & Lori Weekend

In life, there are some people you can re-connect with after years of being apart. You can literally pick up 20 years later as if a week had gone by. This is how our weekend with our friends Todd & Lori went. Todd came to visit from Seattle and Lori came to visit from SLC on the same weekend. We all morphed into 20 year olds again and had a great weekend. Here we are heading out for a night of fun. We went to the Irvine Spectrum for Dinner at a new BBQ place called Wood Ranch. (good) Then wandered around. Took a Ferris Wheel ride.
Bowling
Deep conversations at the Lake.
Dan sporting the latest greatest evening wear fashion trend "the baggie".
Oh... to revert back to the carefree days of sleeping in until noon after a wild night of playing naked crisco twister........ ;)
