Hello from the sandy beaches of Santa Monica!
We’re having a great time here on the coast of Los Angeles. Baby B is loving the silky smooth sand and we’ve enjoyed strolling along the Santa Monica beach boardwalk.
We received mixed reviews when we posted on Facebook that our next trip was to Los Angeles. We had a good chuckle when one reader suggested that we rent a car and go to San Diego instead. I’m not sure what we expected, but we’ve been impressed with the Santa Monica beach scene and it’s active vibe.
The creative juices are not flowing right now, so here are a few photos from our trip instead.
Baby B just wanted to run on the beach!

We had no idea the beach was so long and wide

I looooooove Los Angeles!
When I planned a trip there last year with a friend of mine, her neighbor warned her not to go there. She even frighetened the hell out of my friend. We went anyway and had THE BEST TIME ever.
Absolutely loved it and… going back in a few weeks!
Yaay!
I’m glad you had a great time – and that you didn’t listen to the negative feedback.
We had a great time too!
Wow, looks like you landed perfect weather! Santa Monica is by far my favorite area of LA.
Yes – the weather was great! Cool mornings and evenings, hot afternoons.
