First we went to Venice and layed around on the beach
Then we did a whale watching tour off Newport Beach(one of my favorites)- supposed to have been 2 and a half hours but we of course went on the one day that was too windy so they turned around in about an hour.
The wind caused the water to be so choppy that the visibility was so poor to spot any whales or dolphins. We did recieve free passes to come back again though. It was really cool regaldless.
But we saw some sea lions on the way out
And lots of pretty scenery
And some cool sailboats
We had followers the whole way back to shore
Then we drove up the Pacific Coast Highway for a couple hours, watching the sunset, and stopped at the Santa Monica pier. This family was catching stingrays- so cool- don't worry they put him back. ;-)
Fried shrimp, grilled shrimp, broiled shrimp, sauteed shrimp, shrimp kabob... ok I'll stop
The so very cool ferris wheel and roller coaster that winds around the whole pier.
FYI: there is a very funny video to come. Crazy people apparently perform on the pier at night for tips and we got this hilarious clip, but I'll have to add it later.
We also went to Huntington Beach all day, relaxed on the beach, then went to Main Street where there was a festival going on. We fell in love with this city-very cool little laid back beach town.
