caaaaaaallliforniaaaaa loooooove! part 2

after my short stopover in newport, brendan said he would drive me to malibu with a quick stop in santa monica to pick up my stuff from catherine's house. so super nice of b to drive me all around!! cath got to meet b briefly as they were home from the beach when we stopped by to grab my bag (in the rain). it was a short goodbye as i knew i'd be joining the myman kaplan household again in a few days.

my aunt and uncle moved to malibu from dallas last summer. they live in the point dume neighborhood and can easily walk to the beach. check out these paddleboarders! there were several of them - it was not the warmest of days either - can't imagine how cold that water was!



my aunt ellen, uncle jim, and one of their two dogs, milly. every day we took a walk down to the beach and back. we also went to see a movie - the fighter - that was excellent as well! i didn't think i'd enjoy it since i am not a fan of boxing, but i was really surprised at how much i liked it.

twhile there, ellen and jim graciously allowed me to stay in their guesthouse! this was my living room.

and here are the stairs up to my bed/bathroom. i forgot to take a picture upstairs. oh well.

did you know there are parrots in malibu that just are wild and roam around?! yep, there are. and here are a few of them.

this is a view of the sun setting over the ocean - and the view from my window in the bedroom. so when can i move in?!?!

we ate a couple of dinners at home that jim cooked (YUM! home cooked food?! yes, please!!!) and then we'd eat the amazing cookies that sarah mac had made all of us. omg, the three of us couldn't stop talking about how good all the different kinds of cookies were. i think she'd made like 5 or 6 different kinds. so good. mmmmmmmm.... we also went to dinner one night at a greek restaurant in malibu where we dined on delicious food while kid rock and some girl ate dinner at the table right behind us in the direction i was facing. and yes, he was wearing his hat.

and then after about 3 days with ellen and jim, ellen drove me back down to santa monica where i was staying with catherine again!

WHY did she make that many cookies?! Just for sh*t & giggles?
