We spread the blanket and Lil and Brian laid down. Aviva and I strolled the beach.<\/p>\n<p>We came upon some guys looking at something in the rocks &#8211; turned out it was a seal. It didn&#8217;t look well, it looked like one eye wasn&#8217;t opening well. And it seemed groggy, sunning itself on the rocks. The seal finally got up and went back into the Pacific; here&#8217;s a video of the last part of his trip to the water:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><!--YouTube Error: bad URL entered--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We then took Lil and Brian into Malibu to check out the Pier, then back towards Topanga Canyon for dinner at the Reel Inn.
