Oh no summer is over

I think I commented on this last year, but it makes me laugh when people here say that summer is over. If any of you watched the Emmy's and heard countless times that how hot and how sweaty everyone said they were you know what I mean. In Los Angeles summer can still last for a long time. I guess the nights just get cooler.

If there is a specific end of summer, I guess it would be Labor Day.

For Labor Day, which we both had off for a change, we headed up to Leo Carillo State Beach in beautiful Malibu. I had wanted to go to visit Leo Carillo for quite some time because there is a lot to do. hiking, camping, swimming, caves and tide pools, it really is a place you need to have a lot of time. We didn't get up as early and ended up road tripping up the coast. It was really nice to sit on the beach, the first time all summer for the West Coast. It was a beautiful place, but what disappointed me was there really wasn't any policing in protecting animals in there natural habitat. People were climbing over the tide pools picking up Sea Stars and carrying them around like toys.(They called them Star Fish when I was little)

(Here is a picture of a Sea Star in its natural habitat. You might want to click on the picture to get a closer look)

I definitely want to go back and see more of what Leo has to offer.

After the beach we hit the super popular Malibu Seafood Company for a little fish and chips and fried shrimp. I thought about how my mom would be very jealous.

Not a bad way to pretend to end your summer.
