Getty Museum, Los Angeles, (aka, the best place on earth)

This is not a stock photo– my husband took it from his phone!

Yesterday, my husband took his High School to the Getty Museum, LA, on a field trip he organized.

Before that, however, a quick flashback: the last time I was at the Getty was in 2007, right after graduating from college, when we visited with two of our best friends.

We were all such babies back then! Now the 4 of us have a total of FIVE KIDS!

Since I was unable to go on the trip, due to my barnacle 1.5 year old and independent-yet-still-needs-to-scream-about-wanting-juice-every-ten-seconds 3 year old, I gave my husband strict orders to take lots of good pictures.

 My little sister could be my twin, no? We’ve actually talked about switching places for a day. It’s that bad.

I promise you, this is NOT ME. My little sister could be my twin, no? We've actually talked about switching places for a day. It's that bad.

Some of our favorite students

Janelle started explaining the paintings to others. She’s got the teaching gene, just like her older sister.

If you’re ever in the LA area, you really should visit this museum. It’s FREE, and it’s amazing.

    Wow! I have never heard of this museum- I have only driven through LA so that might be why. GORGEOUS. My sister and I don’t look anything alike.
