Last month Jeff and I did a sweet little drive up the coast to Malibu toCelebrate our 30th Anniversary!
Our first stop was
Malibu Farm Cafe
for breakfast.Located on the old Malibu Pierit not only boasts an organic, local menubut wrap around views as well!
The Malibu Farm is always a must stop for us!
They have two restaurants, the Cafe, which we did this time.
Last time we did the sit down restaurant, you can read my in depth post about about it HEREAnd I am so excited that Malibu Farm will be coming to one of my all time favorite shopping spotsLido Marina Village
in Newport Beach!!
Malibu Farms is the perfect stop for breakfast, lunch or dinneror you can even stop in for drinks or coffee as well.A little walk on the beach afterwards is a lovely way to finish your visit!
Flashback 30 years ... I can't believe it's been that many years!What a ride it's been.
Thirty years later and we are still together!
These days that's definitely something to not only celebrate
but be utterly Grateful for!!
After breakfast we went to our next usual stop ...
The Lumberyard Shopping Mall
in Malibu.I'm always excited to shop at the J Crew in Malibuit always feels more special than ours at South Coast Plaza.So imagine my disappointment to find out the Malibu J Crew is now closed.The brand has been having quite some problems of lateand
has been forced to close many of their stores.I truly feared it would be all downhill when the magnificent Jenna Lyons left the company.
Our lunch destination was further up the coast in Montecito.We headed up to the San Ysidro Hotelto dine at the iconic Stonehouse Restaurant
Oh what a spectacular property it is!It was our first visitbut definitely not our last!
There are 41 cottages that make up this luxury property which sits on 500 acres.
It was Forbes #1 Hotel.And I understand why!!
We got a room back in Malibu atNative Hotel.
It was a lovely well designed but spare room.
The first time we stayed there
we absolutely loved it.
This time it was 'fine'.
But that probably had more to do with coming right off of the
San Ysidro Ranch for lunch.
WE had no idea the Ranch would be so magnificent.
Definitely would not recommend that travel order,
We finished up our Anniversary Day watching a superb sunset at a perfect table at The Sunset House.
It was quite the whirlwind day!
I am so grateful for our Day Trip.It was so perfect to take time out
and
revel in our making it 30 years!
Thank you Jeff! xoxox
As always my friends
I wish you love and joyas you style your life
