Once we arrived in Santa Monica, we headed straight for the beach and what a great beach it is! The sandy beach area was wide, which gave plenty of room for plenty of people. The beach was clean and beautiful! There were no pebbles or stones like our beaches back home. The ocean was a deep blue and in the background were the Hollywood Hills. It was picture prefect.

We went on the Santa Monica Pier and rode on the roller coaster, but not together, one of us had to watch each others bags. The roller coaster was massive, it was hard for me to believe that it was sitting on a wood pier above the ocean and that it was stable and all. But, even with my worries, it sure was fun. After about an hour on the Pier, and enjoying some of the best ice cream, we walked down to Muscle Beach. This is where body-builders come to workout and flex their muscles, showing off really. I couldn’t help look down at my pudgy stomach and feel somewhat flabby compared to these blokes. I was trying to show off by lifting myself up on the ‘chin-up’ bars, but all I managed to do is make all the muscle men laugh.

We walked further down and came across Venice Beach, then headed to the Santa Monica shopping district where I found Abercrombie and Fitch. After a very brief look inside, it was time to check into our nice hotel in Santa Monica, which we made reservation for one night only. After we found the hotel, we dropped our bags and went back out to find some high-end pet store, we wanted to see what kind of dogs were ‘in’ in California and to buy a nice souvenir for our dog Cha-Cha back home. They had all these puppies running around and they were so cute, so terribly cute, it was really hard to leave the store puppy-less.

We caught the bus to Universal City, we didn’t have much time to spend there, but what we did get to do was a total blast. We had dinner there and then caught the bus back to Santa Monica and back to our hotel for the night.
