"26. See the LA sites/museums I've been meaning to go to for years: the Getty Villa, the LA Arboretum, the Urban Light installation at LACMA, and Griffith Park for the Griffith Park Observatory and Travel Town."
Last weekend, we went to Travel Town!
Travel Town is a fairly simple place - an outdoor, interactive museum of locomotives. It's located in Griffith Park, and the best part is that both parking and entrance are free! (Though we make a donation when we go, because it's a really cool place.) You can pay to go on the mini train ride around the park, climb on engines and passenger cars, and have a picnic amongst the tracks.
My parents took me there when I was small, and I drive past it every day on my way home from work, but I had never been as an adult. Sharing some of my dad's love of trains, I have been wanting to go back for years. And we finally did!
Looking back at the engines - I love train tracks and afternoon light.
My favorite car - I took a TON of photos in there!
Travel Town isn't the most intricate or interesting museum in the world. And I'm not enough of a train enthusiast to spend hours upon hours there. But it's very cute, kid friendly, and I have some great nostalgic memories from there! I'm glad I went - I'm sure I'll take my own kids there someday!
