Great Birthday Weekend II: Santa Monica Beach





Mom wanted to go to the Beach on Saturday, so we obliged. Erica and I talked the rest of the gang to coming to our neighborhood, and so we set up shop just south of the Santa Monica Pier. Mom wanted to make sure she came to a place with "big waves" and this spot was obliging , as their were dozens of students at the beachside surf school practicing in the water nearby.

The day started off chilly and cloudy, which was perfect for setting up, but soon turned gorgeous and sunny - sailboats , kites, and surfboards were in large abundance, although mom turned down the idea of a surfing lesson. She did get a ride in the "beach wheelchair" , a dune buggy like contraption made for riding on the sand. It turned our group into minor celebrities, as numerous people came by to inquire about it and/or demand rides.





Just a wonderful , wonderful day.
