In response to Mike's update, I have to say something about the free-day
options.
The Getty Museum for those who have never been, is absolutely amazing. If
you like art of any kind, it is so very worth it to visit this amazing
collection!!!!!! I've been personally before and am one of the 3 that are
signed up for it right now, and have to say, if it doesn't have enough
people, I will still probably go on my own, just because it is something
that I have been very much looking forward to.
Okay, I promoted, nudged (hopefully), and probably irritated you all, so
have a great weekend.
Becca
