Again, tacked on to the end. I tried to get a picture of this one sketch at LACMA that would be an AWESOME Spike. The picture came out blurry but it's good enough that I can redraw it and post it later.
The tar pits were...a disappointment. It was a lake with woolly mammoths and that was it. The one tar pit that was enclosed off to the side (aka, actually had tar and not water) looked like a compost pile due to all the junk that people had thrown in. There were candy wrappers, bottles, and an orange. Okay, so I threw a penny into the lake...errr...tar pit figuring it might bring me good luck.
LACMA was kind of funny. My cousins and I were commenting on everything...from the ancient Greek doughboy's fashion sense to the wanna be jungle gym sculpture at the bottom of one building. Debbie thought one of the Picasso paintings (From his blue period) had a woman with a bunny for her breast. We all thought the sculptures in that gallery looked like they had been pulled out of a fire and were put on display anyway. Ummm...yeah, modern art? So not our thing.
We then went back to the vintage clothing shop. I tried on one dress but it didn't fit right. It was too bad because it was a really cute 1970's short prairie style dress with tiers. I ended up with a new bracelet for $1. Shannon got a cute little knitted table runner
We went to a little bar that Katie (one of Debbie's daughters) use to waitress at. It was a tiny little thing but right on the beach. I took some pictures of the sunset from there.
Tomorrow, adventures with Aunt Jenny!
