One of our favorites. Oak groves, canyon views, and an incredible ocean vista. Park at Trippet Ranch in Topanga State Park, and just follow the signs! Remember to download a map -- you will lose service! (7 miles, out and back, 3 hours)
A different hike from the same parking lot. Hike through Musch Meadow, then up into the canyon for a great workout and amazing views. Remember to download a map -- you will lose service! (4.4 miles, loop, 2 hours)
After your hike, stop for lunch at this ocean-side cafe with farm-to-table fare.
OK, you caught us -- we've never done this. But Yelp says these classes are good!
Rent a beach cruiser and take your life in your hands! Dodge roller bladers! Get a tattoo! Listen to other people's music! (and your hotel may lend you a bike if you want to do all this for free!)
Do you like water? And strolling? Did you secretly enjoy the movie "Valentine's Day," even though you'd never admit it? This is where Ashton Kutcher's character lived!
Aaron's favorite lunch place on the west side -- a quick and tasty spot for Omusubi (that means 'rice balls,' you plebes!)
Katie's favorite spot for breakfast or lunch. A bakery / deli with counter-service and a cute covered patio.
Great food, and they can usually accommodate large parties. Make a reservation!
Just checking to see if Mom made it this far into the website.
