It was a whopping 83 degrees in Santa Monica on Friday. For those of you who are unaware, that is July weather on the California coast. Needless to say, we couldn't resist a trip to Santa Monica for a little taste of summer.
Turns out, most of LA had the same idea. It may have only been April 1st, but that pier and beach were packed like a summer day! (Well, a summer weekday. But still.) There were even crazies out swimming in the ocean. Listen kids, I know it was warm out, but that California water is cold in August--and absolutely freezing in April!
We love Santa Monica because it has so much all in one place--good beach, fun pier, and great shopping. After walking along the sand for awhile, we headed to Third Street Promenade for dinner at Cafe Crepe. We'd grabbed dessert there numerous times (Nutella and strawberry/banana crepes, anyone?) but this was the first time we stopped for a real meal. It was delicious! Once the sun had gone down, we did a lot of window (and a little real) shopping and just enjoyed our time together. I love dates.
We spent the rest of the weekend at the Rozsas', where we watched General Conference, cheered for Butler, and played Ticket to Ride into the wee hours of the morning. It was such a wonderful, relaxing, uplifting weekend!
I'm so happy that the weather cooperated for your weekend getaway. I love your beach adventures. But man they make me miss the beach SO BAD!
ReplyDeleteBy the way 100% of my voters want to hear about my salacious bra blog post. So I say we both go for it! Perhaps we should even coordinate our blogs so they bra blog posts on the same day. That would be super hilarious!
I can't wait for the day when you decide to invite me to move in with you two.
