santa monica pier ..

we drove to the santa monica pier one morning .. 

ellie was a little disappointed ..

since this is where Route 66 ends i think we thought it would be lots bigger ..

they did have a zoltar though ..

we rode our bikes down the beach to venice beach ..

we watched the skate boarders do some pretty cool tricks ..

then it was back to the hotel ..

the kids wanted to hit the beach .. again ..
