The Bunny Museum and the Huntington Library

Yesterday was Obscura Day in LA – a day to celebrate obscure things to do in Los Angeles. We tried to visit the Bunny Museum once before only to find you needed to call well in advance to book an appointment. The Bunny Museum was on the Obscura Day list! This is one wild place […]

A day in Pasadena

Aviva and I dropped off Basil at our dog sitter and drove to Pasadena.
