 When in Los Angeles there are so many fantastic museums to visit. The Getty has the most breathtaking views, gorgeous garden, and outstanding architecture. The Broad has the best modern art in the city and is the place to be seen. The Museum of Jurassic Technology, so quirky, and underrated. It is one of my favorites. But for a well rounded family museum, I pick the LACMA. Although currently under construction, it still has a few very memorable exhibits.    This is not a pipe... .. Play hide-n-seek and art with shadows A small pollock.. A room dedicated to Picasso  Herman Scherer - i have recreated this piece with photography.  - An entire room for Kirschner. As always the metropolis exhibit is mesmerizing...   For me the most interesting exhibit this time was a new emersive piece. Observers walked through an old garage which ended in the modern art wing.  It is exactly why rural people don't like urbanites...judgey and snuggly.. When you look at the hustle bustle of Metropolis vs

  Interesting spot... Watts Towers.. oddly look very similar to the bizarre art installation in Imlay NV Thunder Mountain. There are 17 interconnected towers with hearts weaving throughout them. The hearts really stood out to me. It's like this beautiful little village inside one of the most dangerous districts in Los Angeles. It did have a fence surrounding it but the neighborhood around it was relatively well maintenance and friendly. I was talking cars with some guys outside, Honda owers. A young man was kicking a soccer ball against a wall.    I'd say overall the Towers are a good cultural spot. You can take the Metro up from El Segundo or drive. 3 blocks over it was much tougher. I would not wander.

When in LA, if you're a bargain shopper, Santee Alley is for you. This is Authentic Los Angeles and has it all, from churros, bacon wrapped street hot dogs, horchata, side street fruit, even side street tequila bars, no id required, Santee Alley is food heaven. If you're looking for you stolen designer bag, or a real good knock-off.. this is the spot. It is crowded, loud, and very active! But the  merchandise is so fun.  But it's not all over the top.. Some is just funny..   And yes.. you can find your questionable merch here, too.. And some very impressive... And some swag... But the food... omg..  And real corn.. And you can even barter for the price of your drink... And the churros are the most perfect churros you've ever once bitten onto..  Yes.. Los Angeles.. For my Space Karen

  Haunted Queen Mary... Also know as the Grey Ghost, the Queen Mary was the sister ship to the Titanic, although much bigger. During WWWII they painted her gray and she ran troops across the Atlantic- to avoid detection she sailed in a zig zag motion. Her top speed is 35 mph but takes up to 10 miles to stop.    She ramed into her transport gunner ship one fateful night and almost 400 people died. This is the spot of the damage. Those that were not instantly killed or killed in the fire created by the impact were sucked back into the propellers. The ship is rumored to have housed prisoners of war but the British government has that information under lock and key. Many have heard moans from the old luggage hull where prisoners may have been held.   The Queen Mary has an unfortunate design flaw which made it pitch sharply. These staircase are known as the dead man's case because on its maiden voyage more than 70 people were injured with broken wrists or arms. One man did die on the ca

  Disneyland at Halloween is my absolutely favorite time to visit the parks...   The decorations are so adorable and spooky in just the right way for perfect family fun. The Haunted Mansion is decorated in Nightmare Before Christmas with Jack and Sally's love ❤️ everywhere. We got to see them strolling through Orleans Square as we waited for our reservation for the ride. There is a Nightmare Before Christmas laser- light show above Tom Sawyer's Island at night, which although not nearly as good at Fantasmic is a nice change.  This was my first time experiencing the new Star Wars World, Galaxy's Edge. I was not disappointed. It is pretty amazing.. I would describe it as an emersive experience. The rides are also a completely new experience... I won't spoil it for you.. you really need to experience both new rides first hand. They are totally unique and if a Star Wars fan I truly believe you will love them. I highly suggest getting the lightening pass. Splurge. Get it. Do
