April 5, 2025

To escape from the news, how about a summary and photos of a beautiful place to visit: the L.A. Arboretum and Botanic Garden. We’re loving how many things there are to do here in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles County Museum of Art

March 16, 2025

Now that we are mostly settled in our new life in Los Angeles, it’s time to explore! We visited the L.A. County Museum of Art(LACMA) on a rainy weekday and found that neither of us remembered anything about this fine museum. Nothing was familiar which made it more of an adventure. We planned our outing … More Los Angeles County Museum of Art

I have come to the end of our trip to Spain in May. On our last day we visited the Sorolla Museum. I had read about this museum after our last trip in 2019 and put it on my wish list of things we’d like to see and do. It’s in an area of Madrid … More Sorolla Museum – Madrid, España

Museo del Prado y el Jardín Botánico – Madrid

August 23, 2024

This was the second to last day of our trip to Spain in May and it was likely my least favorite day. It happens. Our plan was to visit the Prado first thing after it opened, then have a bite to eat at El Brillante, visit the Jardín Botánico and then find the memorial to … More Museo del Prado y el Jardín Botánico – Madrid

Interactive Music Museum – Málaga, España

August 18, 2024

Or as it’s known in Málaga, Museo Interactivo de la Música or MIMMA. I found this museum quite by accident. Whilst researching places to eat, and wandering around neighborhoods in google maps for our trip to Spain in May, this museum caught my eye. When I told the husband about it, he said “put it … More Interactive Music Museum – Málaga, España
