Have you ever been to the Getty Center?

Shame on you if you haven't.

Even if art isn't your thing, go anyway.

The architecture, amazing. Really, really amazing.

The gardens, amazing. The views, unbeliveable.

Sit awhile, have a bite to eat, have a glass of wine, just enjoy.

If you do like art you won't be disappointed.

It's amazing, enough said.

Have you ever been to the Orange Empire Railway Museum?

I went to take photos of my muse Ashley.

What I found out is there is a lot to see.

I will definitely be going back with a picnic basket and more time

to see more trains, ride a train and just enjoy a day with my grandsons.

Have you ever been to the Griffith Observatory?

Believe it or not I never had! Lived here my whole life and had never been.

Check it our here at http://www.griffithobservatory.org/

I loved it! The history, the views, the planetarium show, terrific.

Don't forget to see Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon.

Have you ever been to the Dory Fleet?

Visit the north side of the Newport Beach Pier any day and find brave fishermen returning bright and early to sell the day's catch. This has been a daily event beginning in 1891 and continues today. Now I have been to the Newport Beach Pier but never early enough to catch this market in full swing. Amazing!

While the fresh fish are amazing my favorite story of the day was from Frank a long time fisherman of the Dory Fleet. Frank and his wife rescued a large pelican who had a fish hook lodged in his leg. Frank took time away from carving fish to order and gently captured the pelican while his wife removed the fish hook and went for first aid. Being a bird lover myself I was very happy to see that loving care.
