Vacation Hangover

So Tuesday my family went to the Getty Museum, if you've never been there and you live in Southern California, go! That place holds a lot of memories for Todd and I as well. Todd took me there the first week I moved to Rancho Cucamonga and where our friendship started. When you first get there you park in their underground parking lot, you do have to pay a parking fee of $15, but it's a pretty good deal when you see Rembrandt and Monet paintings for free. There's something for everyone, for Todd it's the impressionist art, for me it's the medieval books and the furniture owned by french royalty.
After parking, you go up the elevator to the train, a little subway-like train that takes you around the mountain and climbs up to the museum. The first location we visited were the gardens, unfortunately we couldn't walk through because they were renovating all the flowers but you could still look down at it and take pictures. Lauren really like the waterfall going into the garden, she got to make a wish and throw a coin into it. She wished to be a princess, what else? Right next to the garden is a huge outdoor eating area, we brought lunch with us and found a table and ate. After lunch is when things started going downhill...My mom and I took Lauren to the children's room of the museum to play around while the guys went upstairs to the paintings. We didn't stay for very long. You can't see everything when you go just once, there's way too much there and it's a huge place. We left to try to beat traffic but didn't succeed and got home super tired. My grandparents called us on our way back and told us to meet up with them and Johnny's family at Souplantation, some of us were not too happy but we went and ate and enjoyed being with family.
After the kids went to sleep we stayed up talking the night away, My parents recounted their story about when they met and their engagement, Paul and I were shocked to find out the day after my dad got back from his mission he proposed! I knew their relationship was fast but I had no idea how fast. Then Todd and I told our story and we all laughed and joked around till it got late, then my parents and my brother went back to their hotel room. The next day we stayed in because Lauren was acting different, wanting to lay down all the time and being extra cuddly, then Paul started getting queasy. Then it was my turn, then Todd's, then my mom's and my dad. We all got food poisoning! It was my family's last day here and that's how we spent it, yuck. Luckily by the next day when they had to leave everyone was feeling better, my mom was the last one still with an upset stomach. That's what you get when you party too hard in California ;)
