Santa Monica

We've been trying to get out and about a bit more to see some of the local sites and we discovered this local gem! People always talk about how great the Santa Monica Pier is, but we'd only ever seen it from a distance...down the coast line, so we decided to give it a go! We had the most beautiful weather/day while we were there. Temperature was in the 70's, blue skies, cool breeze! It was fantastic! Now we know where to bring all of you when you come to visit!

As you can see:

The historic end of Route 66.

Plenty of rides for the kiddies.

And exhaustion for the ride home! Nothin' beats two sleeping kiddies...(unless of course you have THREE sleeping kiddos.)

There was a little girl...

My sweet mother-in-law just reminded me of this little poem and it fits Amelia to a T!!

There was a little girl
Who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead;
And when she was good,
She was very, very good
But when she was bad she was horrid.

That is Amelia all the way!! Thanks Mom for reminding us about that cute little poem.
