Til the sun goes down...


...over Santa Monica Boulevard

Well, I'm not really sure if that song has anything to do with Santa Monica the city, or just that road, but whatever. I spent my first full weekend-day hitting up Santa Monica. It's this really cool beach town-ish kinda city about half an hour from my place. There's a loooong strip of beach, with a pier that contains all kinds of street vendor style people and a bunch of carnival rides. Then, a few blocks off the beach is the promenade, which is a long closed street of stores, bars, places to eat, and street performers.

My trip out there was a nice welcoming to the LA freeway system. Nothing says you're in LA more than a 2pm traffic jam on a Saturday. And it was probably about 1/5 as intense as anything that goes on during the week. Thankfully work is a short 10 minute ride on side streets.

Once arriving, I parked, and pretty much just spent the day strolling around, snapping some photos, and taking in the gorgeous day and scenery.
