A Day at the Getty Villa

Today was our first free Saturday all summer (between one trip to Colorado and Hal umpiring other weekends), so we made plans to see the renovated Getty Villa in Malibu. We hadn't been there since the girls were young. The renovations are excellent, and the bonus for us was seeing the Chimera of Arezzo, on loan from The National Archeological Museum in Florence. This Etruscan bronze was discovered in Arezzo, the city where Claire lived last semester.

After a lovely three-hour visit, we headed to Santa Monica for lunch at the Real Food Daily restaurant. This vegan restaurant is highly reviewed, and all of our meals were excellent. Very tasty and filling.
