santa monica beach

by this point in our travels, it was starting to feel like we couldn't stomach any more yumminess! everything was so good and rich and we found ourselves full around the clock! also driving around spoils you a little! we found ourselves driving down the road to grab a pint of ice-cream. so lazy!

so we decided to take an afternoon off shopping and stretch our legs a little. and hit the famous santa monica beach. 


we picked a really gorgeous day to do that... 


we rented beach cruisers and rode down the entire strip until we got to venice beach..

soak in a little sunshine and chatted in the wind about life, about our babies and our future.
it was truly my happy place.


found an outdoor playground with adult sized monkey bars and swing things...
its nice to see so many people hanging out at the beach on a regular weekday!


 of course no beach day is complete without a corn dog. 
(p.s. my favorite food in the WORLD!)


the boy says i smile the biggest when i have food in my hand.
can't fight that! :) 

i wished we had a lovely beach driving distance away from home!
sometimes its just nice to get out there and wriggle your toes in the sand 
and feel the sea breeze. 

we drove back into town all refreshed with a ruddy healthy glow. 
seriously the best therapy.
