Next, we went to the Griffith Observatory! I (Elizabeth) have been wanting to do this with Shea since we began dating in 2002, but it was closed for 4 years for renovations. It is finally open now, and boy! was it worth the wait. Our understanding of the cosmos was widened and God's greatness is now understood a little more by us. There was a grand planetarium show, and among many things, we got to look through a 12" telescope at Jupiter and its 4 moons. We now are able to navigate by the stars a little better, thanks to an incredibly enthusiastic and intelligent astronomer's help, and we also got to rub shoulders with Einstein. Lastly, the view from the Observatory, which seems to be near the highest point in LA proper, was astounding. If you're ever in LA, this is definitely a place to visit.
