We also worked in a visit with our friends Heidi, Dylan and Kate.
Can you tell that Dylan is character? You first met him on my blog a couple of years ago. Big Sister Kate has done a splendid job of awakening his curiosity and teaching him to be a wonderful kid.
Our main sightseeing outing included a trip to The Getty Museum, a serenely beautiful place set in the hills above LA. The day couldn't have been more perfect for exploring the grounds and, of course, stopping for a bite to eat in the cafe.
Mom and Dad decided to soak up the beautiful day on the patio ...
... while I went inside to check out some of the exhibits. The museum is actually a cluster of buildings devoted to ever-changing, top-notch collections. Admission is always free (although there is a parking fee).
Here's a sampling of the treasures I had the opportunity to see:
We happened to be there for the first day of an exhibit called In the beginning was the Word: Medieval Gospel Illumination. Pages and pages, books and books filled with this magnificent, painstaking handwork that preserved and promoted understanding of the gospel.
LOVE.
I caught our reflection as we were preparing to leaf. Get it?
Thanks for the tourist moments, Mom and Dad! I know I don't take normal family snapshots and often don't even think about pulling out the camera to snap quick photos. But I'm hoping these photos will remind us of the heart-expanding adventures we've shared as our love for one another continues to grow.
We always thank God for you, and rightly so,
because your faith is growing more and more,
and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing.
2 Thessalonians 1:3
