The Getty Center

...
Earlier last month, I went over to my older sister Shaye's house to hang out. The original plan was that we were all (Shaye, Chris, me, and all their kids) were going to go to the Long Beach Aquarium, but the kids did not want to go!!! How weird!! So... Shaye, Chris and I just decided to do something on our own... so we went to The Getty Center in Los Angeles.

On our way to Los Angeles, we stopped in Pasadena to eat lunch. We ended up around the Old Town Pasadena area and went to a sushi bar. The sushi was amazing. (I wish I could remember the name of the restaurant, but... oh well!) It was one of those sushi places that has the floating boats with all the different plates of sushi on it. You just pick and choose what you want as it "floats by."

After lunch, we headed toward the Getty Museum, but the fun was just beginning!!!

When we arrived, we drove through the "pay for parking" booth and took a left-hand turn up the hill toward the museum. There was a van ahead of us and the gate opened up and we followed the van through the gate. But the van ahead of us stopped and we passed it by and continued up the hill. But then we saw all these flashing red lights on the side of the road and we heard alarms. Then the road ahead of us opened up... with a huge baracade. We just sat there for a second or two and then a few museum security officers approached our car. Then it dawned on us... "We aren't supposed to be here. We took the wrong turn at the booth and shouldn't have followed the van through the gate." We explained what happened and headed back down toward the parking lot... laughing the whole way down!!! What a memory.

So then we ended up at the Museum and we constantly kept seeing security and we thought, "They flagged us and are keeping their eye on us." How funny!!!

[For those of you who do not know what The Getty Center is, its an art museum. You can visit their website by clicking here.]

The Getty Center is amazing! It sits on a hill overlooking the entire Los Angeles area. The views are great.

After sunset, we ate at the restaurant located at the museum. The name of the restaurant is "The Restaurant." And "The Restaurant" has really good food.

Good food, good art, good times!!!!
