Sunday to Sunday in the LBC

Do not worry my blogging friends! I'm back. It has been a busy couple of weeks. The days were full and I would get home just in time to slip into my jammies and fall into bed. 


I got up early(ish) yesterday morning so that I could edit some more of my pictures from my train adventure. You all will get to see those over the next coming weeks.


I hope you all had a great Mother's Day. My family met at my parents' house and ate a delicious breakfast of almond, macadamia nut, buttermilk pancakes! Of course my father made them so that my mother could relax and enjoy her day. After breakfast we headed off to the Getty Museum to see the Leonardo da Vinci sculpture exhibit. It is amazing to think that these sculptures were created hundreds of years ago by hand. The technique is so precise and detailed. We just don't see that around much anymore. Da Vinci was a true genius!


Ok, on to things Long Beach related. Apparently, Long Beach Heritage puts on downtown walking tours every third Saturday of the month from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM for $10. They visit some buildings that have stories to tell and share their passion for preservation of Long Beach history.

I really love old buildings and know that Long Beach has a rich stories to tell. It is a lucky city to still have many old buildings around to share those stories. 


I think I may take a historic walk to find out a little bit more about the city that I live in and love!
