Santa Monica: Day 1
View from the Pier looking towards Malibu
Dinner at Bubba Gumps
Movie set on the beach of a yet to be determined film
Santa Monica Pier Amusement Park
Santa Monica Sunset
It's MEA week which for those that are non-parents is what we used to call parent/teacher converences. I am not sure I even know what MEA stands for, but for us it usually means head out of town and visit somewhere fun.
This year we headed to LA for the week with a dual purpose. First, my father in law was receiving a lifetime achievement award later in the week in Thousand Oaks and we wanted to be there with him. Second, our kitchen is going through a major remodeling. With appliances getting ready to depart to the graveyard, day to day living was about ready to migrate to plastic cups and wall dust.
We were able to find a hotel by the Santa Monica pier with a decent view and slightly short of a house payment. The picture above is from the room window; not too bad shot.
Upon arriving late yesterday afternoon, we hit the pier making our way to the Bubba Gump shrimp joint for beers and all things shrimp or in the kids case, mac and cheese. Good beer with a great view of what looked like some kind of movie making on the beach. Will check that one out later this afternoon.

Lauren's Birthday Outing
At the Mall with Maggie, Josie and Rachel
It wasn't Fast Times at Ridgemont High but rather Fast Times at Ridgedale Mall. First time when one of the girls in a pack roaming the mall was related to me. All had cell phones (on loan) and raced through the mall for 2 hours before dinner at Champps. Kind of a new era for this kind of activity. Frightening.
