A few weeks ago, Matt and I met up with Adrian and her boyfriend, Matt, for one of my favorite summertime activities: an afternoon picnic at the Getty. Armed with picnic baskets full of fresh cheeses, bread, fruits and veggies from the Sunday Farmers' Market, we found our spot on the gorgeous lawn.
The lawn at the Getty is surrounded by meticulously-kept gardens and a pristine view of Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and the Pacific Ocean. At the top of the grassy hillside sit the gleaming travertine buildings which house the museum's galleries, cafe and restaurant. A delicate balance of light, open space, and nature; regardless of whether you are gazing at the gardens, the panoramic view, or the architecture, you are beholding beauty in one of it's finest forms.
As you can imagine, it is the ideal spot for a picnic. Especially if you, like myself, have an extremely limited attention span and find yourself wandering towards the museum, or through the gardens, or attempting to convince your extremely-relaxed friends into a game of frisbee. Of course, this is only after the contents of the picnic basket have been devoured.
