Santa Monica Church, Bill and Giuliana City Guide

Santa Monica Catholic Church
Santa Monica
Bill and I are both Catholic and go to church every Sunday. We have been truly blessed and feel it is important to be grateful for what we have and show our gratitude every day of our lives.

Nobu Sushi Restaurant
Malibu
We had our first date here. It was on a Sunday night; he picked me up at 6 p.m., and we had a long, great drive down Pacific Coast Highway on the edge of the ocean to Nobu. We each knew we had met our match on this date.

Casa del Mar Hotel
Santa Monica
Before our date at Nobu, Bill and I stopped here for a cocktail. We hit it off instantly. Within an hour, we were both looking at our BlackBerrys and making plans for six months out. Bill and I pass the hotel on our weekly runs, and we always look up at it and give each other a pat on the back and a smile. It's a great memory.

AMC Cinemas
Century City
Bill and I love to throw on our sweats and head out to a movie on Sunday nights. This theater is in a great mall with a killer food court. They have delicious brown rice sushi that we carry out and eat during the movie. Beats the calories in popcorn! Yummy!

Yogurtland
Hollywood
We go to the La Brea location, where we prepare our own frozen yogurt. We love the fro-yo!
Third Street Promenade

Third Street Promenade
Santa Monica
Three blocks of great stores and some "interesting" street performers. We live just around the corner, so we are often walking down the Promenade...I'm staring in the store windows, and Bill is staring at the performers. He loves watching them and supporting them. Sometimes the people are kinda scary, but other times they can be pretty entertaining.

Ocean Avenue Running Path
Santa Monica
On any given weekend, Bill and I are running down Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica toward Venice for our weekly seven-mile outdoor run. We used to listen to our iPods, but now we just chat the whole way. It makes the time go by, and we get to catch up and talk about life.

Santa Monica Stairs
Santa Monica
We love to run up and down the stairs, four times each way. It's a great place to spot celebs.

Niketown
Beverly Hills
A store where Bill and I can both enjoy shopping for all our athletic gear.

Siri Thai Massage Center
Westwood
Bill and I discovered this little hole in the wall about a year ago and now go all the time. The Thai girls give the best massages, and you can't beat the $45/hour price tag. Bill loves a great massage, but I give the worst massages in the world—so I make sure we go every week.
Byron and Tracey Salon, Bill and Giuliana City Guide

Byron and Tracey Salon
Beverly Hills
This is where I get my hair highlighted and Bill gets his hair cut. We like going together.

A Votre Sante
Brentwood
Bill and I love this place for Saturday and Sunday breakfast. They have super-healthy, organic, delicious food, and we crave it after a long run on the boardwalk.

Montage
Laguna Beach
This resort is only a 45-minute drive from town, and we love to put the top down and go for a romantic getaway!
