This picture does not go with the post heading does it? Well, that’s because Saturday was absolutely gorgeous. Actually, the entire week has been gorgeous and made for a very nice Spring Break but today, it’s windy, rainy and cold and I am sluggish from a touch of food poisoning or maybe a stomach bug. Not sure which but it’s a real downer.

First, let me share a few more photos with you. On Saturday we visited the Griffith Observatory, which I hadn’t been to since the $94 million re-model.

The view was gorgeous. The hike up the hill to get there, not too bad. The parking is still a nightmare and we got there right when they opened. I suggest getting there an hour early, eating a picnic lunch, and then making your way to the displays.

She’s a little camera shy. Yeah.

The top deck is almost exactly the same as it was before the re-model, but there is a downstairs now! Yes, they carved into the hillside to create this new floor and it’s all shiny and new and very impressive. We had a great time.

Today though, The Hub took the kids to visit their uncle and I am about to cuddle up with a book to shake-off whatever is left of this food poisoning/bug. In case you are wondering, we didn’t eat at the Observatory so the food there was not the cause 😉 I think I may read a bit more of The Book Thief as it is taking me forever to read it, but what I really want to read is The World We Live In which was sent to me by Jill.

It may be a slow review week as I read a bunch of books and then realized that they probably shouldn’t be reviewed until it’s closer to their release date. Do you ever do that? I could have sworn some were coming out this week but they aren’t coming out until May.

Anyway, off to my chair, or bed depending on my mood. Hope you are enjoying a nice day and that those that participated in the read-a-thon are recovering nicely.
