On Sunday afternoon, we took Wes into Los Angeles for some of the highlights. We drove around Hollywood - no need to get out of the car to take in that atmosphere.
Then, at the suggestion of JT, we went up to the Griffith Observatory. Stace and I hadn't been here since we very first met, and it's been remodeled in the years since.
The views, as always, were stunning. We had the Hollywood sign on the hill behind us...
...and Downtown L.A.
The Observatory itself is a fabulous science museum, and all of it is free. The girls here are holding a meteorite.
One exhibit featured the planets of our solar system, to approximate scale.
Parking is tough, and we had a nice walk back to the car. Cora insisted on hiking part of it, since paved roads are boring. Behind her is West L.A./Century City and the ocean.
Monday was Wes's last full day with us, and we had fun in the evening with music and family. My parents came for dinner, and Stace and Wes played guitar and sang. Cora joined in and Violet danced. Later, Melanie came after her restaurant shift, and it was a full party.
Stace and I so enjoyed having Wes with us. For Stace it was lovely reconnecting with his cousin and hearing some classic Wells-Burr stories.
