Yesterday after sleeping in, we went to another tourist destination: Santa Monica Pier.
It was so fun. It was filled with souvenir stores, restaurants, street performers, and tourists.
So great for people-watching.
The view of the beach from the pier was great. The beach is huge.
The water was really clear.
We went down to the beach to see it. It reminded me of California beaches in the movies. There were people jogging and skating and playing volleyball and exercising. All it needed was an 80’s soundtrack of some kind…
I fly back to Maui today. Here’s my flight info, for those who like to play along at home:
Friday, January 4
Hawaiian #33
Depart LA 9:00am
Arrive Kahului 1:10pm
Well, that looks exactly like what a vacation should look like. What a wonderful time to spend with a friend!
I’ll be praying you home today, along with lots of other people. 🙂
Let’s see… Wasn’t it Sheryl Crow who sang some song with the phrase, “Santa Monica Boulevard”? It’s from the mid-90’s, though.
Yes, it’s “All I Wanna Do” by Sheryl Crow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-SaoaXfz6E
Hehe… nice find. Every time I saw a sign for Santa Monica Freeway, I thought of a country song: “You’re the Reason God Made Oklahoma”.

Never heard that song. Now I have.
