Gett[y]ing our money's worth.


After Christmas, Daniel and I went to the Getty. We looked at art! And made art! Exciting times.


Self-timer in the garden!


Daniel had never been, so we traipsed through all the galleries and paid homage to the greatest works. We were especially taken with an exhibit featuring absolutely gorgeous illuminated manuscripts from Belgium and the Netherlands. Then we frollicked on the grass. Totally.


The twins gave me the greatest Christmas presents ever—hand-me-ups, including these jeans. How great is it to have younger sisters who get too cool for their clothes?


Flying children! The art we made were sketches in an interactive exhibit. The docents set us up on these ingeniously designed benches that held our easels as we attempted to sketch out sculptural figures placed throughout the room.



There's something so otherworldly, almost utopic about the Getty. I always leave feeling happier than when I came.
