Browndepot on the road, Day 2

Hello from a surprisingly beautiful Santa Monica. Everyone on TV has been saying the weather is going to be awful, but today was just about perfect. A clear blue sky as far as the eye can see!

We started the morning with a walk down the Santa Monica Pier. Charlotte enjoyed chasing birds around, while we enjoyed the amazing views of massive sand beaches that were virtually empty of people.

After enjoying the Pier, we walked over the the Third Street Promenade to do some shopping. Heidi got to spend some time at her favorite store in the world, Zara. Charlotte and I know not to even try to keep up with mom when she’s at a place like that, so we sat outside and enjoyed the street scene.

Later in the day, we drove up Pico Blvd. to the Fox Studio lot (Google map above), the national home to FSN and Fox Sports. We didn’t go on the lot, but I was happy to say I’ve at least seen it with my own two eyes.

We ended the day by driving up the Pacific Coast Highway to Malibu to eat dinner at a great place called Duke’s. This picture was the view we had from our table. A great meal, and a great view! Thanks to Dave Rees for recommending the place!
