... or our version of the 'honey do' list. Most every weekend, the mister and I try to get out and explore since we only have the weekends together at this time. This past Sunday afternoon took us to the Autry Museum in Griffith Park, directly across from the L.A. Zoo. Sadly, I have to admit that I have been to their gift shop a couple of times, but never actually walked into the museum (shameful). Go and get yourself a history lesson on the western heritage of the U.S. Along with learning about some of the original settlers (exhibit on the Hopis) you will find exhibits on the European & American migration westward (includes outlaws, the women & a beautifully restored stagecoach). And for you cinema & television folk, an exhibit on the influence of the west on movies, tv & entertainment with costumes, posters & related paraphernalia.
For more info visit their website at theautry.org .
Note: If you go, take Crystal Springs Drive, off of Los Feliz Blvd, to drive by and view all of the children waiting with their families to go on the pony rides in Griffith Park. Cute stuff.
