What a wonderful place to spend a few days while Paul visits a few RV dealers. We are parked in a tiny spot of only 7 sites at an Elks Lodge in Simi Valley. The Lodge is nestled in the hills where there are walking trails nearby for Duke and I while Paul goes out to see his dealers.
- Hikers mark the trails?
- Duke enjoying all the smells
- Mountain Goat? or Duke?
The weekend had beautiful weather and Paul can’t visit dealers on Saturday so we took a drive through Topanga Canyon out to Malibu. Beautiful drive and amazing vistas.
- Overlooking Simi Valley
Arriving in Malibu at lunch and not wanting to be indoors we stopped at a local market, Vons! While it isn’t a local market it had what we wanted, Local wines, cheeses, and sushi! Loaded with some eats we went looking for a beach with a table which isn’t easy to find here in Malibu. They are all either private or you have to pay to enter! Finally we found a nice parking lot that had a fee but you could park on the highway and walk in, use the facilities and they had perfect tables right near the beach. We enjoyed lunch and gave Duke a nice walk on the walkway as he wasn’t allowed on the beach but I was!
- Love the sand and the salt water
- No surfers on these beautiful waves
- The view while walking along the shoreline
It was a beautiful day and in the evening I got to visit with my mom who was in Simi Valley with her sister for a bowling tournament. I went to hang out with them at their hotel and about 10:15 we got a call from the front desk! The neighbors think we are having a party and would we like to bring it downstairs to the lobby? What? 3 women in their 70’s and me! Talking and laughing is now considered a party! Time for me to go home so they don’t get kicked out!!
