The Getty Villa

Another field trip for us and I think I fell in love with the the Getty Villa. Stunning location, beautiful antiquities and architecture. Today we had the perfect weather to experience the museum, inside and out.

Just the perfect size to lose oneself there and just enjoy all that there is to see. If you ever have the chance to go, do it and get the free self-guided audio iPod touch.

Welcome to the Getty Villa
Kids are raring to go.

So much to see...

and touch (don't worry). We were allowed to touch it.

The kids had a grand time. They each got to be part of the artwork.
