Follow Google direction, once it announces arriving at the destination, put on your left turning signal and wait to make a left onto Corona del mar side street to park your car. Since it is a timed visitation, you probably meet a few enthusiastic also heading to the Eames HOUSE. Say hello and walk together. First question popped from all of us is "are you doing the exterior or interior?" Lol who got $200 something loose change in the pocket? Turns out, the Eames Foundations really rely on the interior tour proceeds to up keep this historical home. It is sad seeing the white curtains are bleached by the California sun it reminds me of Pringo chips while the exterior wood panels seasoned by the ocean spray like 60 days aged steak. While pacing ourself along the railroad wood passageway, the guide invites us to look into the inside of the kitchen, the living room and spiral stairs. The building is constructed with exposed steels and glasses which fulfilled one of the criteria of the competition- to utilized materials that were invented or used during the WWII. I really appreciate the Eames House is spared from the wild fire.

Kuruvungna Springs, once the home of a Tongva/Gabrielino village prior to Spanish colonization, is…read moreopen for visits on the first Saturday morning of the month (but double check the hours before you go). A California Historical Landmark, this location was occupied since at least 500 B.C. by the Tongva. Almost paved over, this beautiful spot with fresh water springs has been preserved through a non-profit foundation and is technically on the campus of Universtiy High School within LAUSD. More information including current visiting hours can be found here: https://gabrielinosprings.com/ My companion on a recent visit, born and raised just 5 miles from its location, never even knew it existed. This is a common response, unfortunately, as the existence of the descendants of the Native American peoples still living in LA County is often forgotten or intentionally ignored. We were lucky hear a presentation from the president of the foundation, Bob Ramirez, who provided an entertaining summary of California history from the Native American perspective. All Angelenos should visit these Springs. Free admission, ample free parking in the lot as well as street parking. Very highly recommended.

My Seven Hundredth review is dedicated to my favorite little beach town…read more.. The City of Malibu! In this review, I will share some fun facts, some helpful tips, and some useful recommendations as you navigate through the 9-0-2-6-5. Incorporated on March 28th 1991, the city will be turning 34 years old later this month. And for a girl in her mid thirties, she effortlessly maintains her beautiful youth all while staying Classy, Sophisticated and beach-bod ready. Speaking of beaches... Where do people always go when they think of a beach in Malibu?? Let's hear it... "Zuma Beach" Ok I get it, Zuma is the go-to spot, but what if I told you there are way more beaches that are less crowded and will still get you as many likes on your IG/Tik Tok page. Here are just a few: Check out El Matador State beach, Nicholas Canyon Beach or Leo Carillo State Beach on the West end or Surfrider Beach located in mid-Malibu to rub elbows with the locals. Not a fan of the beach? Don't want to get sand all over your new 2025 ride?? That's ok, there's more to Malibu than just the ocean water and pretty sunsets. Make sure to check out the many hiking trails in the city limits that will keep you out of the water and keep the sand on the beach where it belongs. Top Spots: Point Dume has some awesome views that are right over the water and it will get you that perfect sunset photo op. Parking on Cliffside Drive is limited (approx. 10 parking spots), but you can find more parking on Grasswood which is just a 5 or so minute walk from the Point Dume trailhead. Escondido Falls is always the place to go especially when there is nice weather. You can either parking in the dirt lot or on PCH (just pay attention to the parking signs and be cognizant of your surroundings while on PCH as cars are flying by). It's a bit of a walk just to get to the Escondido Trailhead, but the hike itself is worth it once you get there. Solstice Canyon is another top spot where you will be immersed in nature and get occasional glimpses of the Pacific Ocean. But, but Lance... I'm not a huge fan of the beach and hiking doesn't really sound like a good time... Well if you love being behind the wheel and exploring new roads.... Check out the many, many canyons that you can drive through the Santa Monica Mountains from or to Malibu. -Decker Canyon will take you through a windy road from PCH in Malibu to Westlake Village on the other side. Side note: (If you get car sick easily, you better sit this one out, trust me). -Encinal Canyon, Latigo Canyon, and of course Mulholland Canyon (located just outside of the Malibu City limits, but still considered as "Malibu") are all less windy roads perfect for a beautiful cruise on a beautiful sunny day. Just be smart, don't drive like a tool and observe the rules of the road. The California Highway Patrol and the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department actively patrol these roadways and it's not worth you losing your life or causing someone else to lose theirs. Ok... After a day at the beach, a hike to the end of the trail and that crazy drive through Decker Canyon... Who is ready to eat?? I know everybody is dying to get into Nobu, but there's no need to break the bank just because you are in the Bu. For the Staples of Malibu and a little finer dining... Check out Geoffrey's, Lucky's, V's Restaurant + Bar or Mastro's Ocean Club (this one is just outside Malibu City Limits just East of Topanga Canyon Blvd. But is still considered Malibu proper. ***Sadly, with the most recent fires, Moonshadows was completely destroyed, but hopefully they will rebuild in the future. For more casual dining with paper napkins and quick service... You gotta try Malibu Seafood for everything fried and true, Howdy's Malibu for some awesome breakfast and/or Lunch burritos or Malibu Farm Pier Cafe which is you guessed it, right on the pier in Malibu. For those looking for the perfect view of the sunset and a great date spot to eat where afterwards you can "go for that long walk on the beach" like your profile states... Come to The Sunset Restaurant located at Westward Beach. You can pony up a few extra bucks and use their on site valet (it's worth it) or try and find a spot to park parallel to the beach. Pro tip: Save her the steps for the walk on the beach afterwards and just valet your ride. And last but not least... You simply cannot do any of the above without driving on some portion of... Pacific Coast Highway a.k.a P.C.H. Yes, Malibu's iconic signage that are posted alongside P.C.H which simply state: MALIBU 21 MILES OF SCENIC BEAUTY And for those who Let me tell ya, this Statement is an ------------ Understatement
