The Getty.

Another beautiful and clear day in LA over spring break. My favorites at the Getty were the LA Style photography exhibit, Van Gogh's Irises, bringing in a picnic lunch, and wandering the grounds. Unfortunately, the gardens were closed to make improvements, so we'll have to go back sometime.

Los Angeles seems to get a bad reputation, but after these little adventures over spring break, I can honestly say that I love LA. It's been fun this week slowly going through my pictures from spring break, especially since it was a particularly challenging week at work. It's been a nice little escape. Next up, Yosemite.

Peaceful photos to wrap up this somewhat chaotic and exhausting week. 

Happy Friday.

(Almost) famous.

Did you know that out in front of the Egyptian Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, my great-grandfather has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? We had to go visit it while we were in LA.

We've been wanting to explore Los Angeles ever since we got the stomach flu over Christmas break and our plans for a short trip to LA were thwarted. Spring break provided the opportunity to spend a couple of days in traffic wandering around the city, and the first thing we did was hike to the Hollywood sign with my brother. It was a beautiful, clear day.

We had about this much fun (and clearly my jumping skills need some work):
