LA Trip: Day 4

In the morning, Grandpa had a great idea that we should visit The Getty Center near UCLA. We got off the 405 too early and went on a little detour along the Pacific Coast highway, but the view was great and we did find The Getty Center. We couldn't believe how cheap the admission was to the Getty Center- $10 per car! DD loved taking the tram to the center from the parking lot. The art collection may not be as impressive as the Louvre in Paris or the British Museum in London, but the view from the Center was unbeatable. DD had lot of fun running around in the garden and around the center.

We went back to the hotel for a long nap in the afternoon. We then took DD to the Disney Downtown which was free admission. DD scored a Lego set in the Lego store, but I suspect daddy might have more fun putting together the lego than DD. :)

For dinner Uncle D took us to a Cantonese/Vietnamese Seafood restaurant owned by Cambodians in (or near) Little Saigon. The food was delicious and "cheap"! We all enjoyed the lobster....YUMMY!

After dinner, we went back to uncle D's house and finally got to see cousin K. K just came home from the hospital, so she was little cranky. She was in no mood to entertain us, but we were so happy to see that she was recovering well.
