Santa Monica & Malibu...oh yeah and Melrose :)

Thanks for the posts/comments. G/Laura, I've been an avid Hills follower for 4 seasons now but unless it's Audrina herself making a resto recommendation, I need some backup! :)

We've been beach bumming it for the last 2 days and it's so funny how typical it is. I saw a guy surfer today with curly blond hair (a la Casey from American Idol) who yelled "bazooka" as he jumped into the water. LOL Anyway, the pic below is of a house in Malibu at the top of a hill...there were so many like this just scattered throughout the hills as we drove around.

Sorry my pics are mixed up. But this one just below is actually of the famous Santa Monica pier. Before the Hills I loved Three's Company and, for those that are with me on this, you'll recognize this amusement park from when Jack and the girls are in bumper cars in the opening credits. Actually, the true fans will recognize where I'm standing below too...it's the area where Jack falls off his bike to stare at a pretty girl.

This pic just below is the view from our spot on Malibu beach.

Michael's been singing show jingles since we got here. First (obviously) he sang the Three's Company song (Come and knock on my door....we've been waiting for you....) And since we hit Malibu he's been looking for Charlie Sheen (2 and a Half Men) and singing "Dum dum dum dee dum dee dum dum....meeeennnn..." Annoying to say the least. But he stopped long enough to drive me to Melorse avenue. Not as swanky as I expected but I still found a few cute shops and maybe snagged a dress for Laura and G's wedding (No offense to Michael but he says everything looks like it can be worn to a wedding!) I bought it anyway so we'll see... :P

Tonight we're going to a popular pizza place called Mozza. Last night we actually tried this place right in the hills (!!!) called Pace (Peace). It was great. BTW Sab/Fab, you were right (again!) about Cobras. We loved the food. Thanks again.

Miss you all.
