Wednesday we started our day with breakfast at Blu Jam Cafe before heading to Malibu for a hike with Perry and Emily! We chose to hike Eagle Rock in Topanga State Park which ended up being quite the challenge with the heat and getting off the path in the last half. The views were worth it, though! Afterward we rewarded ourselves with a beachside cheese board courtesy of Whole Foods. My favorite part of the day was walking along Matador Beach and in some of the sea caves. I’m so grateful we got to see so many of our friends in LA, next up Santa Barbara!
LA Adventures Part One
Tuesday we stopped by Philz Coffee on the way to Manhattan Beach. We spent the morning walking along the ocean and admiring all the amazing homes! Next we met up with our friends, Perry and Emily, and headed to Ballast Point Long Beach for lunch. I ordered the mussels which were amazing and the beer was great, too! That afternoon we drove from Long Beach to the Palos Verdes Cliffs. Our climb down to the water was a bit adventurous but worth it! Tuesday evening we headed back to Koreatown for dinner with all the Froends!
Point Dume State Beach
After breakfast at Malibu Farm Dale and I headed down the road a bit to Point Dume State Beach. The view was amazing and we had a nice walk along the paths. Next up we headed into LA to stay with our friends Michael and Joanna and their dog, Riley. Our dinner Monday night at BCD Tofu House was one of our favorites of the whole trip!
Malibu, CA
Monday morning Dale and I picked up our rental car and headed to Malibu. Our first stop was the pier where we had a long breakfast at Malibu Farm!
The Landing Grill & Sushi Bar
Saturday night we headed to The Landing Grill & Sushi Bar for dinner! Not only was the sushi amazing, but we got a stunning sunset, too. (My new favorite wine is Cakebread Cellars Sauvignon Blanc.) Dale also spent the weekend celebrating in Vegas with Matt. We can’t wait for the wedding week festivities!
Westlake Village Inn & Spa
Last weekend I haded to LA to celebrate my friend Caitlin’s bachelorette weekend! She is marrying Dale’s best friend from college, Matt, in September. We checked in to the Westlake Village Inn & Spa on Friday and headed straight to the pool. That night we had pizza and then headed to bed. The next day we had breakfast at Stonehaus, headed to the spa, and then spent some more time at the pool. It was such a beautiful place to stay in Westlake Village!
