to Tiffany, Keri & Brian

I MISS YOU!!
Remember when we used to go on day trips to the coast or the mountains (I know you miss the car sickness)
Well yesterday Shelby and I took the boys to L.A.and the trip down there reminded me of our trips
Silly music and silly kids
laughing and joking
no video games or dvd players
just a fun drive
of course a little, "are we there yet?" and
"where are we going first?"
and some brotherly arguing about where they were sitting
SO just thinking about you guys and all those road trips we took together. Realizing our first BIG one was when you 3 were these boys' ages.
Come visit SOON!!
Next time you can come with us.
We made a couple other stops, but our main purpose was to visit the Getty Center for Shelby's art class. Jacob and I had been before, but the other half hadn't.
There are some cool fountains at the Getty
And the Gardens are my favorite and the boys really like them too

That's the cactus garden behind them and L.A.

Jacob took this picture. It was supposed to be of Shelby and I, but Ezra had to jump in. He thought he was real sneaky and laughed, "HA, I was in the picture!"

We relaxed on the grass. Actually Jacob and Ezra rolled down the grass hills and Shelby and I relaxed. Thus the grass on Jacob's pants.

On our way out, we realized we hadn't seen one of the main exhibitions. So up the stairs we went. There are A LOT of stairs at the Getty.
It really is a neat place. No big ropes around the paintings. They have skylights so you view all the art in natural light as the artists did. Van Gogh, Rembrandt, El Greco, too many famous artists to name.
A great day with my men!
