I took Nathan and Ashley to the Getty Villa while they were in town – Ashley likes ancient things and I studied ancient history for over 3 years in college (6 credits of ancient Latin shy of a degree). The gardens are based on the gardens from Hadrian’s villa and they are beautiful – I also love the building, it stands out overlooking the Pacific.

We’ve been here before – you can find posts here and here.

And now, the pictures:
