On the road again...
This December we had an early Christmas present and went on a road trip to the Southern California. It was a long drive, but we decided to make it with as few stops as possible, so we can have more time to spend in the sun.
The children stoically beard the long hours in heir car seats. They had some toys to entertain thm and movies to watch, but still having to sit still for 12 hours was difficult.
It was the worst for Michael. After you have all the snacks you wanted and the toys become boring, not to mention outside gets all dark and pictures in the window disappear, the drivingjust isn't so much fun any
more. And a boy can only have so much nap time..
Jeff was doing all the driving and got pretty bored too, but he has found a different way to entertain himself.
He has only agreed to post this picture in exchange to the promice that I will post one of my funny pictures too, so look for it :-)
The sunset that day was very beautiful, and later our children fell asleep so we had some time just to drive and talk to each other.Getty center
We had a hotell in Anaheim, so we could go easily to Disneyland. Our first day in California was a Sunday, so after going to chnurch we went to visit the Getty center in Los Angeles.
it is a very beautiful place, and a wonderful art museum with great collections.
The tour of the place starts with the tram ride to the top of the mountain. Our little ones pressed their noses to the window to see the the cars on the freeway get smaller and smaller.
They were very excited, and loved every minute of it. The cars got smaller nd more and more houses opened up to the view.
And then this amazing view opened up.
There were a lot of beatiful buildings and plenty of walking place.
we enjoyed all the beautiful sculpture and art work
next stop was at the family room, where children could explore hands on, play and put their own touch on the works of art.
there was a room with moving mirrors and magnets on the wall
you could put yourself in a picture
and find a nice area to relax and read a book or two
The sunset was incredible
we had so much fun walking around and looking at the paintings that by the time we went to the gardens it was already dark.
But it was still very beautiful
