On Monday my parents and I went to Greystone mansion. I didn’t take any photos since there were plentiful signs saying it was not allowed. Unless, of course, you’re a Japanese tourist.

Afterwards we drove all the way down Sunset to the PCH and headed to Malibu. Our first stop was lunch at my dad’s favorite seafood spot. Then we went on to Leo Carillo State Beach, walking out to the tide pools before heading north to Point Mugu. We parked at Mugu and walked the beach before going back to Leo Carillo and crossing the street to look for the looking for the hiking path that goes up the hill. We couldn’t find it until my parents were too tired of walking as from most areas the trailhead is hidden behind a fence. Some of the park officers didn’t even know there was a hiking trail.

Back at home Sam was back from work and we watched Howl’s Moving Castle on BluRay as my parents had never seen it.
