Summer Staycation-ing: The Getty Villa

Littlest Dude studied ancient Greece in school this last year, so off to the Getty Villa we went …

The traveling exhibit on display was all about Aphrodite.  As we approached the exhibit room, the guard strongly cautioned us that the exhibit had explicit adult content.  Big Dude, without missing a beat, answered, "I look forward to that."  And walked right in, with his sons right behind him.  Gotta love dudes.

Wow. How pretty is this place? Stunning.
I am glad you all enjoyed the STRONG adult content.
The boys were looking for something fun to do today after shooting at the gun range (inspired by your trip) when we saw an adult store. The sign said FUN FOR EVERYONE. Naji was like, please can't we go there for some fun.... I told him that was fun we would not be partaking of this trip for certain! ; )

I think our husbands may be brothers. They must meet.
