Malibu/Santa Monica/Venice Beach

Keith and I spent our first morning in California in Malibu.
It was freezing and foggy!
We went to Paradise Cove and had breakfast. According to the US Weekly I read on the plane, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith had breakfast at the same restaurant the week before.
After breakfast we stopped by Pepperdine University, which is supposed to be one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. Unfortunately, we didn't get to enjoy the view.
Our last Malibu stop was the Getty Villa, which houses Greek and Roman antiques.
Seconds after the above photo was taken my Canon Rebel's battery died. Thank goodness for my trusty point and shoot!

Friday afternoon we went to Venice Beach and Santa Monica. In the Venice area, there was a small section with canals, like in Venice, Italy.The boardwalk was full of street performers and sketchy shops.
We also visited the famous pier in Santa Monica and walked along the boardwalk on the beach.
Then we were off to our next destination- Dana Point!
(Between Malibu and Venice Beach/Santa Monica, we went to LA. That post is next!)
