Welcome to California, Chris!!

Chris came to visit John and I this past weekend. She arrived on Thursday morning, and stayed until Monday afternoon. We had a blast! And I can't wait for her next visit!! On Thursday I picked her up at the Burbank airport and we headed back to Valencia. I showed her around the area that we live in, and we went to the pool for an afternoon dip. That evening we went out to dinner, then went and saw Sex and the City. Great movie if you are a fan of the HBO series!!

On Friday we headed out for some fun at the beach. Although the temperature outside was mild, the sun decided to hide the entire time we were at the beach!! We went to Zuma Beach in Malibu.
The Hilton girls with their cameras, what are you gonna do?
We had the pleasure of watching a lifeguard rescue while we were at the beach. There were like 8 girls that managed to float out too far from shore and had to be helped back in by like 4 lifeguards with the help of the lifeguard boat. No one was hurt.
Here is a shot of the Baywatch boys on their way back to their post. Unfortunately, we didn't see any gratuitous running scenes on the beach. Then again, they didn't have Pam Anderson sized breasts either.
We enjoyed a super yummy lunch at Howdy's Taquira in Malibu. What is up with the public restroom situation in Malibu? It is like they shun you for having to evacuate your bodily waste. The only restroom we could find in the little complex was the one by Howdy's, but there was always a line like 5 people long. We went to Starbucks thinking they would have a restroom, but they didn't (and they made really crappy drinks! Side note: Starbucks, you are dead to me. I will blog about you another day when I have more energy).
Unfortunately, no celebrity sightings for us in Malibu. Maybe next time!
