A collection of various things and places from our quick sojourn to Southern California Dec. 2019. The weather was chilly and sometimes rainy but we still had a good time.

Wonderful visit to the Getty Museum. The building is the real star. Great views of LA.

A few of the breweries we visited, Alesmith was the best of all that we went to. Would recommend, also a cool building and lots of variety.

San Diego zoo, which was open on Christmas Eve and pretty packed. Not sure we saw everything before our feet gave out (also rode the bus). Lots of nice flora to complement the fauna.

Home store shopping in the design district for inspiration. Lots of color and texture here.
