Malibu Beach

We left Long Beach in beautiful weather and headed up to Malibu. We made plans to stop for lunch  at a beach side restaurant called the Reel Inn. It was recommended by our friend Chris's son, he lives in the area and he promised us we would love it! He also joined us for lunch. This place was about 9 miles short of our destination and it had a large parking lot that would accommodate parking the coach. Yes, in fact we loved it! The fish was fresh and delicious we sat outside and Savannah was allowed on the patio too.

The Reel Inn

What a great find, good food, good friends and pristine weather. We continued on up the Pacific Coast highway and found our next home in short order!

Now I understand why people live here, wow, this was the most gorgeous scenery I've seen so far on this entire trip, or at least in California.... anyway, we came up this big hill and pulled into a space with breathtaking views, we were all speechless. The spaces were very tight, but, this was pricey real estate!

This was our view

Can you imagine backing into these spaces?

An amazing sunset

So we were completely "wowed" by this place! I kept thinking about our fate if there was an earthquake but I didn't dwell on it.We were told by somebody that Matthew McConaughy stayed here while making a movie recently and that actors with motor coaches stay here when they are in town!
We did see a very nice Prevost up the hill with a Porsche parked in front of it, but Jay wouldn't let me knock on their door! Prevost's are the Mac Daddy of motor homes, custom built and cost 1 million to start, Willie Nelson has one and actually they are customized in Palm City Florida. Don't see one of those in our future! We stayed 4 days and it was a memorable visit, day trips up the coast, over to Thousand Oaks and I was just mesmerized by the views, the homes nestled in the mountains and right smack on the beach!

We went to a small market one day and let me tell you it was the most expensive food I've ever seen, honey we are not in the neighborhood Walmart ! I think at that point we realized it was time to head south to San Diego!

Next adventure begins in Mission Bay, 138 miles south!
