Today was a chance to check out the California coast and hike up to the top of Point Dume in Malibu. It's the site of where the Statue of Liberty landed in the original Planet of the Apes, but I don't know what that is, and to us it was just a really big hill to climb.
Jonathan even got to see more cacti.
The views were incredible. I always like going to the beach, but they don't have cliffs like this in New Jersey to enjoy.
And we got to see a ton of sea life. If you look closely, you can see a big group of sea lions napping on the beach below Jonathan here. We could hear them barking through our whole hike.
So cool.
Of course, if you're gonna climb a mountain, you gotta strike a victory pose at the top.
And if you're gonna visit the beach, you gotta put your toes in the water. Here's our first steps in the Pacific Ocean. It was chilly, but also awesome to get our feet wet in February.
We saw some dolphins swimming near the shore and even a small whale (not pictured). I wanted to go our further to hug the dolphins, but Mom said I couldn't because I wasn't wearing a swimsuit. Maybe next time we visit California.

What a beautiful day. You got to see so much in such a short time. Mom and Dad were sooooo smart to plan that hike. And that’s so interesting about the movie. One day, when you watch it, you’ll remember you were right there.
Love you all.
