Operation Vacation: Malibu

> We've been posted up in Malibu for the past 2 days and as you can see here, the views are amazing. As with any good vacation, we are doing, well...not much. E and I did some beach time yesterday after getting set up, and then we made a nice dinner. Bulgogi, fresh corn and mac and cheese. Solid.

Went to breakfast at Paradise Cove. You've probably seen it in some movies (Indecent Proposal, Back to the Beach, Lethal Weapon 4) and TV shows (Saved by the Bell(!), Baywatch, etc). Great cinnamon French toast. After chilling for a while after breakfast, we cruised around the tony Malibu Country Mart. Real snooty. Lots of entertainment looking types with bad plastic surgery and attitudes. Comedy. We saw Janice Dickinson (from America's Next Top Model and being a hag)and holy shit is she kicked in. So gross. Someone must have told her the camera adds 50 lbs because she looked like a combo of the priest from Poltergeist and Adrian Brody in The Pianist (towards the end, you get the picture).

Eva played on the playground there for at least an hour with all of the kids. I have to say the funniest thing I saw all day was a little boy who was a Hasidic Jew that must have been at summer camp or something, because he had his trunks and rashguard/swim kit on, but still was rocking the long side locks. A unique kit to say he very least.

After a second chill session at the camper, we loaded up the bikes and headed to Santa Monica. We rode from there to Venice and back, then took E on some rides on the pier, which she loved. A full day.Tomorrow we have no agenda...we'll see where we end up.
