Santa Monica Day 2

The second day in Santa Monica we headed to LA to go to the La Brea Tar Pits. It was pretty cool.

This whole display case was full of Dire Wolf skulls that they found in the area.

This thing totally freaked the girls out because it moved and made noise.  It was pretty funny.

We walked around outside a little and it was fun to see some of the tar pits.

After that we drove around LA a little more to see some of the sites.  Here's the famous Chinese Theatre.

And the Hollywood sign.

We also drove by this place.  I'm pretty sure I fit right in driving my mini van amongst all the BMW's and Mercedes'.

Here's one more shot we got of the temple on the way back to the hotel.

When we got back we waited for Doug to get back from his meetings and then headed to the pier again.  This place was right across the street from our hotel.  Totally my kind of place!

Here's the sign to the pier.

We totally lucked out and had a few hours of warmth and sun at the beach.  The kids totally ate it up!

This is one of my favorite shots at the beach.  I love all the little bird footprints you see everywhere.

Love this shot too.  They were so happy!

Here's Sophia and Lilly pretending to surf.

And here we are back at the hotel doing what we did best at night. 

Overall we had such a fun time on our trip but were so ready to come home!
