My youngest brother has been visiting J and I for about a week now… it’s been great fun.
This is him at our Fourth of July Barbecue.
We went up to L.A. this past week to see the sites. Oh,…L.A.! The traffic, the people, the many, many cars, the smog,…Oh L.A. No, I’m not down on L.A., it’s just that I have to admit that I’m glad we live in San Diego and can drive to L.A. to enjoy it whenever we like, but just don’t have to stay.
L.A. is wonderful. There’s so many things to do. So much culture. Every type of cuisine you could think of. So many museums. Amazing shopping. L.A. is great.
So, while my brother and I gallivanted around L.A., J worked. What a hardworking husband I have and so kind to let us have fun while he slaves away in front of a computer.
Our first day, we went to one of the MOCA museums and saw Lawrence Weiner’s, “As Far As the Eye Can See” exhibit. It was interesting. I had never viewed art in the form of simply, words. While I am much more accustomed to enjoying visual photographs or paintings, it was a unique and interesting experience that I would recommend to others.
On our second day, we walked around the Hollyridge Trail and did our best to be crazy, mad tourist, making sure we snapped at least a 100 pictures in front of the Hollywood sign. Just kidding,…we only snapped like 30 or so pictures… give or take a few… HA!
I know “Hollywood” is blurry in this photo, but this pic just makes me laugh. So funny!
We even found a few horses by the trail.
As the sweetest little dog, ever. I wanted to take it home with me!
Our next stop of the day was In and Out (of course!!) and then the token sites such as Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive.
While we didn’t see anyone famous on Rodeo Drive, my bro claimed he saw Randy Jackson (with contacts on instead of his signature glasses) at Amoeba Music in Hollywood. So there you go! Famous people all around!
Next up,…coverage on the Getty Museum! The Getty has a very special place in my heart. I always love a good art museum, but this isn’t just an art museum,…it’s also the place that J and I got engaged!
Many more pictures to follow!
