A Week of Fun

As they tend to do, Brian's birthday was spread over about a week. We were given tickets to a ballet on his actual birthday. We went with some of our friends to see an odd ballet. One of the four pieces was really beautiful. One was very traditional. One was very 60's and really strange. The last one got mixed reviews. At the end of this final piece I said, "At least it had a story." Brian replied, "It did?!"

We spent the day after Brian's birthday at the Getty Villa and Point Dume. The Getty Villa was built to resemble an Italian villa that was destroyed when Mt. Vesuvius erupted and later excavated. Point Dume is a beautiful point over the beach just north of Malibu. We watched a bunch of surfers get bashed by the waves and even saw a pod of dolphins! Below are some pictures of the adventures. Enjoy!

Point Dume, so pretty. This is where we saw the dolphins. Isn't Brian cute?


The view of Malibu from Point Dume. Dee the hazy stuff in the distance? That's L.A. Yuck!


Ah, Greek art. The man is kind of funny, but the tile work is amazing.


Fun with Greek columns. Wendy, I can fly!


More fun with Greek columns. Who says that Greek architecture isn't fun?
