The Pacific Ocean

My kids had never been to the ocean.  They had seen it from the window of an airplane and been to many beaches at lakes, but never to the ocean. This was one of the things I was really excited to introduce them to when we came to California. We decided to head down to Santa Monica Pier so we could spend some time at the water and go to the pier.  I thought we'd touch the water and that would be it.  Surprisingly, it was really warm out and the water wasn't cold. We played forever.  They loved it so much, we went back the next day.

Riding the "dragon" at the pier.  Colin loved the ride. Audrey and I, not so much. Our stomachs didn't like it much.
