TLC : The Getty: Prepare to be impressed

So as babies will do, Tac kinda stole the show as far as memorable moments at The Getty go--more on that later.
So my sweet husband planned this adventure to get his artist wife to go to a museum--finally in LA. I have been planning weekends for the family full of outdoor, father-son, bonding opportunities bc well bc Tyler stays inside all day and comes home after Tac has hit the sack, then stays up alll night studying, then wakes up before the sun to begin again!- yuck! pretty sure that is a run-on sentence which is perfectly fitting, actually.

OK so The Getty.
I told a few folks we were going and they suggested the grounds and gardens as a main attraction. BOY, OHH, BOY. please keep in mind that one man one man amassed this collection of art and then basically constructed a beautiful architectural masterpiece to enshrine his private collection.
This place has its own street and exit of the 405. Once you get to the grounds from the interstate you park in an underground garage, take elevators to the tram level, and board a tram which carries you up the mountain. DID I MENTION YOU PAY FOR NOTHING EXCEPT $15 PARKING. Can you even begin to imagine leaving this kind of legacy? Me neither.

So now you have exited the Tram and boom beautiful rough stone architecture, polished stone walking surfaces, modern fountains (tac mistook for splash park material), beautiful landscaping, amidst magnificent sculptures. You probably think I am exaggerating. Guess what tours run throughout the day and all you have to do is show up and receive an ear piece/radio set and follow your guide.
There is also a family center- we did not make it there on our first visit.
Use your map people, bc there are several separate buildings categorized by the era of art living there. the rest is open outdoor space with more sculptures, fountains, eating areas, and VIEWS!........
