This is the Santa Monica Promenade. It's an outdoor mall in downtown Santa Monica, CA. It was where we spent some of our last vacation day. The rest of the day was spent on the beach, playing in the ocean's waves and trying not to think about all the many people who use it as a public restroom. I tried to stay clear of the green and yellow bubbles in the water.
We had such an awesome vacation. We stayed at the Travelodge in Pasadena and made sure we left a tip for the nice cleaning ladies every morning. We were able to go to the Rose Bowl, see the Walt Disney Concert Hall, (which was amazing), play and relax at Manhattan Beach, walk the Huntington Beach Pier, hang out in Santa Monica (where my mom was born), play at the Santa Monica Beach, shop, eat at nice restaurants, and just enjoy a vacation on the coast. We went with two great friends and had a freakin' sweet time :)
Well, it would have been nice to post a picture or two of us, but unfortunately while shopping at the previously mention Promenade, our camera was stolen :( Oh well I guess. We did what we could, from reporting it to a nearby police station and leaving our number at a nearby pawn shop. That, and Brevyn losing his nice pair of Oakleys in the ocean, were the only two unfortunate events of our vacation. Other than that, I was depressed when it was over because we had such a sweet time!
