(Okay, I promise this will be the last entry of my Christmas trip) I'm just challenging myself to write as much as possible, about EVERYTHING. So, I woke up with a feeling of relief on this day after Christmas. The holidays seem to make me tense. Too much, too fast, full coverage emotional shower.
The day started a little cloudy, but we made our way over to Malibu Bluff. More canyon. Different views, different colors, more rock showing. We stop to look and take photos. When we finally made it to the beach, it was a little windy and chilly. With time being a factor I decided not to drive directly to Malibu, but instead head down the PCH to Santa Monica.
The drive was like watching a travel reel. The landscapes, the different types of dwellings and the different levels of land over and around the ocean. As we got closer to Santa Monica I could see the pier and its Ferris wheel and roller coaster. We parked by the pier, just to the side of the beach. This beach is a really long, beautiful, clean and enticing one, AND it is PUBLIC.
The people surrounding us were very fascinating. Many Spanish and Asian descents here. But mainly good looking and very friendly. We stopped at a restaurant on the pier and had lunch. Fresh seafood. I had to have the combo platter which came with fresh oysters. After lunch, we walked down the pier and I picked up a few souvenirs to take home. Eventually we made our way back to the front of the pier where we did a Ferris wheel ride, which produced some great photos. Then we rode the roller coaster, TWICE. We made our way up the street to check out THE BOULEVARD. Wow. Lots of street performers. We stopped at this little shop to get frozen yogurt with fresh fruit. YUMMY! We walked around looking for a little while, then started heading back to the car.
Once back in Sherman Oaks, we played a "short" version of monopoly. The funny thing is, it just kept going, going and going. We finally had to stop so that I could try Guitar Hero. LOVED IT! At the end of the day, I was so tired I couldn't think about the fact I am going home tommorrow. Too Short, but Very Sweet. L.A. County, I LOVE YOU!
