This past week I had the amazing opportunity to go to Los Angeles with a few people from the Art Department at BYU Idaho. The trip was full of art, culture....and some culture shock! It was a lovely trip full of art museums and lots and lots of picture taking. I honestly can't say if I've ever even been to a museum in the United States. I enjoyed seeing new things and learning new things. Here, I've posted just a few of the photos I took while in Cali.
On our way down to California, we stopped in Utah at the Spiral Jetty. It was covered pretty well in water, but still in was a beautiful site. Did you know that one reason why the artist decided to put the Jetty in the Salt Lake was because of the red algae that grows there? I thought that was an interesting fact. The water had a pinkish tint to it.
More from the Spiral Jetty.
We stopped by the Norman Simon Museum and saw beautiful paintings by Van Gogh, Cezzane, and Picaso, as well as these beautiful sculptures by Edgar Degas. (I really hope I'm spelling all of these names correctly!)
I wish I knew the name of this type of tree....it was in the gardens of the Norman Simon Museum.
More from the gardens.
Caitlin and Virginia just outside of the Antique Center in Pasadena. The antiques were amazing!

Delicious food at the Grove. Didn't see any famous people though...
