Even though our stay in L.A. was quite short, Will and I had a fabulous time. Uncle Donny and Aunt Wanda were kind enough to put a roof over our head and treated us to some delicious meals and local sightseeing. After dining at a fun Italian restaurant, we strolled along the Venice canals to admire the rich and the famous' houses. Donny kept saying how we were going to be "peeping Toms". As we were walking along the canals, gazing into the huge open windows of the well-to-do, Wanda and I caught sight of a naked man... no shame, dressing in his kitchen. Donny and Wanda assured us that was the first time they actually were "peeping Toms". We only wanted to see cool houses and we got a little more than we bargained for.
The next day we went up to the Getty Museum, which is really a huge complex of buildings and gardens up on the hill in Los Angelos. Paul J. Getty was a huge oil tycoon in the 1970s with a passion for art. Our pictures do not do the museum justice. We spent five hours there!
This was our hotel in Anaheim . . . yeah right. We really enjoyed looking at the largest collection of French furniture and decor during the nineteenth century.
The gardens were almost as amazing as the museum. Our pictures do not do them justice.
After L.A., we headed to Anaheim for our free hotel. Although we were right across the street from Disneyland, we chose to save our money for Wicked tickets. We opted to spend two days at Newport Beach, relaxing and building sandcastles.
