California Living

Very California day today. Started off at the Getty Villa in Malibu. It was nice and had a killer view. However, in terms of full disclosure (and at the risk of sounding like a pompous *ss), we couldn’t help but to compare it to the museums we went to in Europe. I will let you guess which came out on top. 

Starving, per usual, and went to Gladstones for lunch. 

Took in the sights (just be grateful that I didn’t insert the front view). This image begs the question, what must have gone through his mind this morning? Was it - “Ok, it is sunny out today. Mid 80s with a slight breeze. Good day to squeeze into my man-kini. Yup. That’s the ticket.”

Drove to Santa Monica and played around on the Third Street Promenade. Threw some money away in the Apple store, with the rationalization that we have a minute amount of stock in the company. Anything can be rationalized, especially when shopping is involved. 

Finished off with mini cupcakes from Vanilla Bakeshop. Yum. Nothing like the bittersweet chocolate. 

All in all, it was one of those days that makes me remember why we pay exorbitant amounts of taxes and real estate costs to live in southern California. If only I would have remembered to apply the SPF.
