September 30, 2026 - Wednesday - Today we were back in Glendale, CA to visit our favorite museum in a cemetery, the Forest Lawn Museum. Their latest exhibit is called "California Visionaries: The Lives and Legacies of Walt Disney and Hubert Eaton." The exhibition explores the personal and creative relationship between Walt Disney and Forest Lawn Memorial Parks founder Hubert Eaton, highlighting the philosophical and artistic parallels that shaped their respective legacies and the iconic parks they created.

Unfortunately our usual Italian restaurant, La Bella Pinseria Romana has closed. So, for lunch, we decided to try a Mediterranean restaurant in the area, Salt and Olive.
Judy had their grilled chicken wrap with chicken noodle soup on the side.
I had a traditional Greek salad with warm pita bread.
I loved my salad but Judy's wrap was just okay.
