This weekend we went to visit our friend Dan in Malibu and it was sooooooooooo awesome! This is his condo ON THE BEACH! (Yes, those are wicker floors. No, they are not fun to walk on.)

Dan on his ocean view balcony.

this sad, sleepy seal got stuck on the beach. luckily the life guard was there to rescue it.

Tak's 80s look (i.e. Alena's shades)

We went tide pooling!

Tak and Alena checkin it out
Dan teaches kids all about this stuff, so he was our expert guide.
(Dan, remind me what we're seeing here.)

It got kind of treacherous as the ocean life got cooler, so my photos dwindled.

beach party. it was a lot like the Malibu Sands summer of Saved by the Bell.

Dan lives right by THE BACHELOR MANSION! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!

Alena is going to submit this photo the next time she applies to be on The Bachelor. Then she will definitely get it.

We ate this entire jumbo cookie/icecream Pazookie thing at a place called BJ's.

Thanks to our sunburns and a cloudy day, we decided to spend day 2 at the Getty Museum. This museum rules. One of the most awesome museums I've ever been to (and that's saying something).

The Getty also has an incredible garden.

We saw this pretty hill on our picturesque drive home.
