Getty

Inspired by the artistry of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, I thought a trip to the Getty would be in order. It was our first time and we learned there is a 3/4 mile tram ride up to the museum from the parking:


Once arrived at an amazing collection of world art, where do two inspired 5th grade girls want to go? You nailed it if you said "cafeteria". But eventually we made our way to some of the exhibits, the best being the ones that had a place to sit down:


I wanted to check out the exhibit entitled "Tasteful Pictures" which was a photo exhibit of food, but we were all a bit disappointed at how unappetizing the pictures were--and apparently, it was sort of the point of the display. One description aptly described that the composition and cropping made a plate of noodles "look like a plate of worms." Blech.

Overall, we enjoyed the views, some sculptures, and yes, the food.
