California Vacation: Day 4

A beach day at Santa Monica Beach. It was pretty cold. It was in the high 60's. This is the beach with the pier that has a roller coaster and other rides on it, but that was the last thing we wanted to do after spending two days at Disneyland. There was a fun play ground up on the beach too, but there sure were a lot of CRAZY people. We knew that we wanted to go to a different beach the next time around.


His first hand full of sand. I bet you can't guess what he did with it next? Yep. It went right in his mouth.


Trying to build sand castles in the cold.


First steps in the ocean.


Caleb's birthday wasn't for two days, but he wanted to go out for dinner anyway. We were excited that he chose The Cheesecake Factory, one of our favorites!


Nate had a pizza that was the size of this huge plate! Greg bet him $2 that he couldn't eat it all. He lost.

And the other side of the table.

I SWEAR that Betty White was eating across the room from us. Greg wasn't as convinced. I couldn't get a good picture because it was too dark. This Cheesecake Factory was in Los Angeles...you never know! I wish that I were more brave and then I would've asked to have a picture taken with her. Oh well.
