The weekend weather forecast wasn\’t great and we woke up to rain and stormy seas.

But by the time we were ready to get moving the weather had greatly improved.

We took a long walk down the beach.  It was really beautiful.

Can you see the hummingbird in this photo?  In the middle lower left.

Another day, another beach.  Today it is lunch on the Malibu Pier.

After lunch we went to check out a beach that was new to both of us, El Matador Beach.  I had seen pictures and knew it was beautiful but was always concerned about our ability to get down and back up.  As you can see, a bit of a hike down.

We were treated to lots of caves and rock formations.

Simultaneous photo capture.

We made it back up.   This photo gives a good view of how far up and down you need to go.

El Matador Beach was pretty windy.  A good before and after 🙂

Next day was lunch at Real Food Daily in Santa Monica and then a walk through town down to the pier.

Voila!

Just a fun week spending time with my girl!
