Last few days in paradise...

We went to The River for our last night in PS. We started with a beer and appy at The Yardhouse where they have 100 draft beers from small US and foreign breweries. I had Rogue Deadguy Ale and Jim had Andosan Valley Boont Amber....excellent! We had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory there. Our first time and were impressed with the extensive and reasonable menu. We browsed through Borders and saw Jim's Huxley letters on the shelf and then went and saw The Bucket List. Nicolson is always fun to watch and Morgan Freeman was good too.

Then into Santa Monica Thursday. Jim was anxious to get to UCLA for his research so headed to MacDonalds. I had a few hours to kill before getting into our room and it was foggy and cold so found a great restaurant right across from our hotel called The Lobster and warmed up with a pound of fresh Alaskan King Crab legs (only 3 months of the year they get them fresh so couldn't pass up that opportunity) paired with a half bottle of Soave Classico. I ended with a Caesar that was magnificent...fresh anchovies. Then wandered the Santa Monica Pier for a while.

Jim was in sunshine at UCLA...a lot of good it did him buried in the library!
