Saturday was another cool and cloudy day. I must mention that Uncle Dale had wonderful tangerines and grapefruit which we enjoyed in abundance. After breakfast UD conducted a general tour of the area. That means that Larry was the driver and Uncle Dale was the navigator. Our destination was the Getty Museum, but we took a rather circuitous route getting there. Drove through the campuses of California Lutheran and Pepperdine University. Continued along the Pacific Ocean, through Malibu and Santa Monica. The hillsides were green due to recent rains and we could see where mud had 'slid' across the road in places. Getty Museum is a spectacular architectural treat perched high on a hill. Parking is far below the museum. Then you board the tram that takes you to the Museum --five separate buildings surrounded by gardens. We split up for our tours. Small world --Nancy ran into someone who had been on the cruise with us. Chuck met Butch Hasz from Lanark, former General Manager of Carroll Service Company. By 4:00pm we left and headed for Lawry's Prime Rib --one of Uncle Dale's favorite places. Dinner was a special treat followed by free dessert, compliments of the manager who is one of Uncle Dale's friends from Rotary. On the way back home we went by Groman's Chinese Theater (with all the stars on the sidewalk), the Disney Concert Hall, and many other Hollywood sights.
Today we attended church at Ascension Lutheran in Thousand Oaks. Chuck enjoyed a walk with Uncle Dale. Now we will watch the Super Bowl. Tomorrow morning we leave for home.
Two weeks from now we leave for Prague so check the blog and travel with us.
