On Wednesday, we grabbed a quick breakfast at Starbuck's and then got on a bus to head to the Getty Center. We were told that it could cost us up to $120 to take a cab to the Getty Center, then to Hollywood, then back to our hotel. We took the bus most of the day, then the subway from Hollywood to downtown close to our hotel, maybe spent $12 total on fare...nice! I was a little nervous about the bus, but it was fine and the bus drivers were really helpful!
So after switching buses once and walking a bit, we arrived at the Getty Center just in time for opening! We weren't really sure what to expect, we knew it was some kind of museum so we were ready. We had to ride a tram up the mountain to the actual center.
Here is the main building.
We got a map and took the architecture tour first. It was interesting to learn about the man that planned all the construction and why he chose certain materials that he did. Here is a picture of me and a view of the mountain and the 405 Freeway.
Another shot of Cory next to the cool architecture of the building!
There was a great Leonard da Vinci exhibit that we got to check out! So really great statues and lots of his early sketches...amazing! 
The garden was the centerpiece of the center and it was beautiful! Cory got some great shots, and this is just one of my favorites. He captured the pretty flowers, the waterfall, and the great azalea bushes in the back. they have them fenced where they will grow like that...really neat!
Momma and the pretty flowers!
Another favorite shot of Cory's...
That is the museum...after this we had lunch at the restaurant there, then got on a bus to Hollywood. Stay tuned!

What! You're expecting? So great Kara. {I am very slow to the game:)} Absolutely made me smile.
And LA? So fun. I lived in LaJolla, CA for a few months and spent some time there on the week-ends.
Looks like a wonderful time. Still continuing in prayer for your family. Looking forward to the babe updates.
Blessings.
