Santa Monica
Santa Monica was definatly everything we thought it would be.  It was so beautiful and we were definatly excited to be there.  When we got there the first thing on our ajenda was to find the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.  We had heard that it was VERY good and that a certain "friend" hangs out there quite often.  We walked around The Santa Monica Place for a little bit looking for it. It was like this HUGE mall.  Then Nicole started to ask people on the street if they knew where it was...they didn't help.  LoL  Then we started to walk down The Third Street Prominade.  It was REALLY cool, but deifnatly not as cool as it would have been if it was night time.   Well there we found a board that told us where it was.  So we walked over and MY GOD was it worth it.  Alaina got a Vanilla Ice Blended (oh so good) and Nicole got a Malibu Dream (also really good). We took pictures and were just very very happy we found it.
After our delicious and exciting coffee bean experiance we went to the beach! It was so great.  We finally got to see the Santa Monica Pier.  To get there we had to walk over this bridge that went over the freeway.  It was really exciting for Alaina, but Nicole didn't like that part too much. LoL  The sand there was really nice and the beach was pretty clean.  We went into the Pacific for the first time that day.  Man was it cold!!! The waves were also really really big, but we had so much fun.  We didn't want to get out of the water. Oh and on a side note...the Pacific Ocean owes Alaina a scrunchy!!!! He took it from her. Nicole and Sam buried Alaina in the sand, we got attacked by seagulls wanted our food, and finally got a little bit of tan. Later on we walked along the beach for a while, did some shopping, of course took lots of pictures.  We even played on the playground with the twins Sam and Tyler.  It was lots of fun.
