Mostly the purpose of this blog is to focus on Porter Ranch and our neighboring areas.  But sometimes venturing outside of the valley is as much a part of living in the valley as living in the valley (does that make sense?).  This Saturday might be the perfect day to sneak away for a couple of hours.

20 Los Angeles museums will be offering free admission this Saturday January 25, 2014.  Enjoy a nice afternoon date at the Getty Villa and take in some warm winter sun (yes, in Southern California there is such a thing as “warm winter sun”).  Take the family to the Getty Center and enjoy a splendid picnic in the garden, or take the kids to LACMA and see Chris Burden’s Metropolis II exhibit with zooming mini-cars.  Or if you feel like some alone-time check out the Annenberg Space for Photography in the island-like Century City.
