Had a Blast in Cali!

We had a wonderful trip! We stayed on the beach in Santa Monica & spent some time in Hollywood & Beverly Hills. The long weekend was fun & relaxing. Often we come home from trips needing a vacation from the vacation, but this time we came home refreshed!

Friday, we checked out Santa Monica. The pier, the beach, & the 3rd Street Promenade. We had lunch at the Ivy & loved it! We had dinner at Mariasol on the pier & enjoyed the ocean view.

We spent Saturday in Beverly Hills & Hollywood. We started the day with breakfast at Cafe Crepe in Santa Monica. The crepes were amazing! In Beverly Hills, we checked out Rodeo Drive & drove around the beautiful neighborhoods. Loved the houses! In Hollywood, we walked the Walk of Fame & saw the Kodak & Chinese Theaters. We took the scenic route back to Santa Monica. We took Sunset down to the Pacific Coast Highway. Had sushi for dinner!

We spent Sunday at the beach. We went to Cafe Crepe for breakfast & back to the Ivy for dinner. Love both these places :) Enjoyed a nice relaxing day.

Today, we had one last breakfast at Cafe Crepe. We're going to miss it! After checking out, we drove up the coast to Malibu to explore. We made our way back to Santa Monica & walked to Venice Beach before heading to the airport. Enjoyed another relaxing day. Wishing we could have stayed longer!
