Our Family Vay-k!! Redondo Beach!

At the beginning of August we kicked of the end of summer with a trip to So Cal. We stayed at Redondo Beach in a very luxurious hotel...so it looked in the dark...Actually it was beautiful until you went into the rooms. It was very tight quarters and the first night Paul slept on a chair. What a dad! We spent the first day at Redondo Beach. Packed up all our stuff, rented boogie boards and on our way. This beach was fun because it had lots to do on the pier and lots of stores and restaurants. Filled with waffle cones, funnel cakes and fish. It was beautiful weather and we slathered ourselves with sunscreen. I really enjoyed the relaxing and watching everyone boogie board. The girls had fun, it's always nice to hear them giggling together. We went home and cleaned up and went to Joe's Crab Shack for dinner. I always enjoy that restaurant. More that music and dancing than the food. We actually had a lot of fun in our tight quarters. We let the girls sleep in..o.k. me too. Paul went out running on the beach, I think maybe their was a bikini photo shoot that day LOL. We ventured to Manhattan Beach, that was a drive and not a long walk to the beach. We loved this beach because it was clean and just prettier to look at. Lot of surfers too. That night we got pizza for the girls and Paul and I went out to have some fresh crab. It was sooooo delicious. We then walked to Cheesecake Factory. It was soooo delicious. We had fun being alone and found the girls having a great time alone also. The last morning we packed up and headed towards downtown L.A. in hopes to go to Hollywood, well two hours late...we ended up at Universal Studios which was actually really fun. We went to Hard Rock Cafe and they loved all the collectibles. And, it was great food. We then searched for some souvenirs and took pictures and headed home. It was a great short trip and we have great memories and great pictures to prove it!
