Ever since we’ve been back, Hubbie and I have been trying to really soak up Southern California and all it has to offer. One of the most over-looked attractions in SoCal is the Getty Villa. We always find it so rejuvenating and inspiring. If you’re ever in the area, make sure to leave an afternoon open for this beautiful landmark, you won’t regret it!

It was such a beautiful day and we were really able to relax and take it all in. We had a delicious lunch at the cafe and later went back for some coffee and dessert. Watching some of the tourists rushing around trying not to miss anything made me realize how fortunate we are. We didn’t have to rush because if we wanted to, we could always come back next weekend. But most importantly I realized how easy it is be so busy trying to absorb everything that you miss the best part. When you slow down and enjoy you create space for the best memories of all.
Oh my goodness that looks beautiful!! It looks like you had a perfect day for the trip too!
We really couldn’t have planned it better if we tried. It was the prettiest weekend in a while.
I’ve been meaning to take a day trip for ages–I must just do it! Thanks for reminding me!
