A nice little trip to Malibu – check out the Carbon Beach Club for lunch and then head over for a bike ride in Marina Del Rey
Go down to Long Beach and eat at George’s Greek cafe and check out the Aquarium of the Pacific.
Then head over to Terranea in Rancho Palos Verdes for a delightful evening stay.
