Malibu Beach from PCH (Pacific Coast Highway)
New recruit starts first day as Life Guard
Pacific Ocean obscured by tourists
Cora's new Malibu Hat
Light Lunch
On friday we returned to Santa Clarita from Monterey, the journey took us about 6 hours.
We stopped off at Los Alamos where we had another "light lunch" at Charlie's Diner, miles from anywhere. Headed back through the mountains, thro' Santa Barabara, home.
Yesterday, Saturday, Stacey and Lisa drove us to Malibu Beach, where we toured the mall looking for celebs, before walking on the beach. Bought a nice hat for Cora to keep the sun off, see photo, we didn't pick the $200 hats though, bit too pricey!!
Lots of posers with little poochie dogs strolling around, wouldn't know if they were famous or not.
We went into a nice restaurant for dinner/tea, where Lisa's grandparents used to take her when she was younger. Another "light lunch", diet going well, probably only put on stone and a half up to now !!
Then we headed off to Santa Monica, another world!!
Very much like Bond Street at Chrismas, but by the sea. People everywhere enjoying the warm night air, street musicians.
Walked along Santa Monica Pier, before returning home. Cora was a good girl all day despite first teeth breaking through!!
Today we are heading off to Magic Mountain water Park, alias "Wally World" for anyone who saw the National Lampoons Vacation film. We are going as family members of the Californian Police Dept. who have hire it for the day for their officers and families, as Lisa's dad is a deputy sheriff out here in LA.
Tomorrow we fly off to Las Vegas, with the Grand Canyon trip on Tuesday, I'm not sure whether I will take my laptop, so will update blog when I can.
