Santa Monica

Our whirlwind trip to Santa Monica got a lot better after the initial hurdle -- taking over 12 hours to get from here to there amidst multiple delayed and canceled flights. We stayed overlooking the beach and the pier, getting to the hotel in time for sunrise instead of sunset as we had planned.


After a bit of power napping, we had a great time on Saturday walking around the town, having dinner with friends, and seeing Daddy Long Legs. We had seen it near here, in Mountain View, but it was showing in Santa Monica, perhaps being tuned up for a trip toward Broadway, who knows. We topped it off with a walk on the pier, a ride on the roller coaster, and some cotton candy.


The trip back was smooth, anyway!
