Malibu

Malibu is a beautiful area with an even more beautiful beach just north of LA. We went for the morning to check out the beach and the amazing homes right on the beach.

Here I am pretending to be a Malibu Beach lifeguard-

The day was very foggy but look at the houses on the beach! You can't get any closer than that right there.

I kept my eyes peeled for celebrities but didn't see any. One more post from LA coming up later this week!

Beverly Hills and Hollywood

The Luxe Land Yacht has made it to Los Angles! It's crazy to see places in real life that I've seen on TV many times. What surprised me most about LA was the different distinct areas such as Beverly Hills, Hollywood, the beach and the hills. When I was on the beach I felt 100 miles away from Hollywood and when I was in Beverly Hills I felt like I was in a beautiful bubble of sunshine and swankyness.

The weather in LA is amazing. If you're stuck in the cold somewhere and want to get away to awesome weather, then LA would be a good choice in case you didn't already know that.

Here are some photos from our day in Beverly Hills and Hollywood!

Sunny and palm trees, amazing! We also saw Bruce Jenner while in Beverly Hills! I didn't get a photo but he was hanging out drinking a coffee with some other dudes.

Matt with a Bugatti Veyron! LA has the largest concentration of over the top cars I've ever seen. Every car is a luxury brand and Bentley is one of the most popular.

The gardens and landscaping in Beverly Hills was so nice and it's amazing that tropical flowers are able to grow in February!

This is me mailing a post card to my brother from one of the cute neighborhood mailboxes in Beverly Hills.

After Beverly Hills we headed to Hollywood. Hollywood is interesting. It's kind of gross but something I wanted to see. Here is Grauman's Chinese Theater (now called the TCL Chinese Theater). We couldn't see the walk of fame in front of it or get very close because they were cleaning up from a movie premier the night before!

Wednesday

Tahoe Tuesday!

Sorry I'm a day late in posting! We've been in the wilderness and didn't have good internet connection!

Now we're in a place with great internet!

Lately I've been traveling with Matt and Michelle. I'm a good traveler and get better every time they put me in the car. Here are some of the ways I ride in the car-

Here I'm like, Matt, pay attention to me!

I look like a crazy owl in this photo
Most of the time I sleep in my carrier or on my blanket in the backseat though.

When I'm not riding in the car I'm playing-

And of course sleeping!

Have a good week wherever you are, see you next time!

Santa Barbara- Where SoCal Begins

This week we got to spend a few days in Santa Barbara California. I can see why people love Southern California so much. It's tropical, the ocean is beautiful, the weather is lovely (mid 60's in February). We are so lucky to get to experience California from top to bottom. Santa Barbara is really where I've noticed a major change from rocky pretty coastline to sand a palm trees! California is getting some much needed rain right now so our time in Santa Barbara was a little cloudy but still pretty!

We got to see some friends from our hometown of Tyler, TX while in town! They actually live in beautiful Santa Barbara, aren't they lucky!?
