This Is The Story

Last week was my first week on maternity leave so I had a little more spare time than usual. Kristin and I decided to go on a little day trip to Malibu. On our way we stopped at the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air House. There was a brand new house being built across the street and we just happened to get there when all the construction workers were on their lunch. The best part was a food truck pulled up right in front of the Fresh Prince house so there was no hiding the stares, but luckily no one wants to stare at a 8 1/2 month old pregnant woman, so Kristin got all those:) We decided to use our resources while they were having lunch and had them take a picture of us.

Such a pretty house.
When we got to Malibu we had lunch at a random little shack on PCH called Cholada Thai Beach Cuisine. Their Thai food was soooo good and the brown rice was even better. I'm not usually a rice lover because I feel like it's just a filler, but this rice was delicous. I had the Mixed Vegetables with Chicken, yummy!! Lunch was interesting.....we made friends with some rich kids from Pacific Pallisades that told us it was cool to get high while hanging upside down on an inversion chair. They also offered us some of their food, but that could have been from all the sake they were drinking at 1 in the afternoon.
After lunch we went to the Getty Villa. It's very different from the Getty in L.A. because there isn't really that much art. It's mostly Greek and Roman Antiquities....no paitings which are my favorite to look at.
I personally enjoyed the architecture and gardens at the museum more than the art.
Random weird statues they had around one of the main gardens.

How relaxing does this look? I totally wanted to be that statue on the rock.

I lied....I did love this statue and I learned from a tour group in this room that the David statue was built after this one.
and what I had been searching for the entire time at the museum....THE MUMMY
There was a video on how mummies were made which was so interesting to watch. Years ago UCLA took an x-ray of this mummy and they had that on display which was also really cool to see.

To end our fun day in Malibu we stopped at Diddy Riese on the way home and good news there is no line during the day!!
