Pacific Coast Highway - Los Angeles to Venture (Camarillo to be exact)

We have already done LA, and wanted to experience more of the PCH outside of the big sprawling city. We started the day off a bit late, but still had a pretty packed schedule. Below was our itinerary.

(1) The Rose Cafe - This amazing restuarant in Venice (220 Rose Avenue, Venice - (310) 399-0711 - www.rosecafe.com) was recommended to us by a native Californian and did not disappoint. I had an amazing bbq sandwich, Nadia had French Toast, and we relaxed a pretty beautiful surroundings. The meal wasn’t cheap, but was worth the splurge on our first morning in Cali.

(2) From Rose Cafe, we drove through Venice and cut inland to the Getty Center (http://www.getty.edu/visit/). This was an amazing place, with great architecture, gardens, and art.
