Spend a Day...

Just a short trip up Pacific Coast Highway, in the Pacific Palisades and overlooking the ocean, sits the Getty Villa. The $15 parking fee is well worth the visit (admission to the actual villa/museum is free). The husband and I went a few weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed the collection, gardens and views. The villa is based on an ancient Roman country house and inside you will find a vast collection of Greek, Roman and Etruscan antiquities (Herakles/Hercules is prominent throughout). Plan a day to take it all in. Reservations are needed for entry. For more info, hours and to book your reservation, go to their website at, www.getty.edu/visit and enjoy!
