Since this was our 20th we wanted to get a nice place and "A" found "The Georgian Hotel", it was built in 1933 in the art deco style. We kind of have a thing for the art deco style since our house is an art deco Spanish. I guess this place was in the movie Get Shorty. Anyway it's on the beach and we snagged an ocean view room.

They have a veranda dining area in front where we ate breakfast. The food and coffee was damn good.
Trivia note: Route 66 ended in Santa Monica.
While we were there we went to a friends place in Rancho Palos Verdes (very expensive area) for lunch. It's about an hour drive (only 30 miles, but hey it's L.A.). They have a killer view and a really cool backyard. Down near the beach is where they filmed part of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End and Inception.
Unfortunately it was kind of cold and cloudy both days.
On the way home we drove to Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive. I have to say Rodeo drive was not impressive at all, but then I'm a guy.
Overall it was a really enjoyable weekend!!

Happy Anniversary, late. Your card is at the store, next to your birthday card.
Is this the sunny California I've heard so much about? That looks like a killer roller coaster, not.
Is that a Suppository store next to Sunglass hut behind the jester?
And I never saw the rodeo.
Done busting your balls, looked like a lot of fun!
Hardee har har.
You've had really nice 20th Anniversary.
We enjoyed Santa Monica movies in full screen.
Thanks!
