Hope you had a Happy Bunny Day!

Finally got out this weekend! Saturday, spent the day at the Museum of Natural History located in the heart of downtown LA. They had a special exhibit called Sonic Scenery-music for collections where you could rent headphones and stroll through the museum and each different exhibit had a soundtrack to go along with it. It had music by Autolux, Nels Cline, Ozomatli, Matmos and more.
So, of course we signed up! It was very cool! I think my favorite music was Ozomatli in the Cenozoic Fossils room although I think one of the coolest exhibits was the Gem & Mineral room. The special collection on display was the Bog People and featured mummies and artifacts that were found in the bogs of Northern Europe. Creepiest aspect was that most of the people found in the bog were violently killed.
In the morning before the museum, we caught up with some friends that we had not seen in a long time. They are both high profile people in the entertainment industry and they had us meet them at IHOP......at IHOP of all places...but this IHOP does have valet parking, so I guess that does say something.
Today, being easter we went out to breakfast with a friend and hung out outside taking a walk down by the ocean, here are some plant pics:
We then headed up north to celebrate easter with family in the valley. Rita's is the place to be on a holiday. We had ham and grilled filet mignon and things got out of control with all the kids and the different languages that are spoken at our get togethers. Half the family is from Columbia and most of the kids are bilingual, but they often will only listen to one language and ignore you if you speak the other. Believe me, they are crafty, but very cute. The food was fantastic and it is always great to see the relatives....we are all so busy that we really only see each other on the holidays. :(
