Adventures in So. California

One of the best things about living in Southern California is the endless list of things to do and places to explore. Here are just a few of my favorites.

    The Automobile Driving Museum

    A nice little walk through automotive history in El Segundo. Even this non-enthusiast enjoyed seeing the design and impeccably well kept details of all these old cars.

    Travel Town Museum This museum in Griffith Park just got added to my summer to-do list. There are several trains you can climb on and one you can ride. It seems charming and fun - and it’s free. 5200 Zoo Dr. Los Angeles, CA 90027 http://www.laparks.org/grifmet/tt/index.htm

    Getty Villa

    Like the Getty Museum, the Getty Villa’s grounds are every bit as impressive as the art inside. It’s the perfect place to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon.

    Levitated Mass I caught up with the 340 ton boulder on its way to LACMA while it was stopped at Figueroa and Florence, its final pit stop. A bit of info on how it’s being transported: A transporter has been custom built for the project. The transporter is roughly 260 feet long and 32 feet wide. The large size of the transporter enables the weight of the rock to be distributed over 196 wheels, in such a way as to prevent road damage. Transportation will occur only at night over 11 nights and the transporter will travel down a pre-determined route at about 5–8 miles per hour.

    Ronald Reagan Presidential Library

    Intrigued by the promise of getting to board Air Force One, my next stop in Simi Valley was the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. It was an interesting look back at a time that feels so close yet - as I looked at the then “state-of-the-art” technology - so far away.
