CA Trip Pics - Venice Beach 9/18/08

So, on our first full day of the trip, our wonderful friends Ben and Robin were both busy so we did what every land-locked, beach-deprived Missourian should do - we headed to the beach! Venice Beach to be exact.
As I write this, I realize that I didn't take any pics of the famed "muscle beach" part of the beach or the really interesting "paddle tennis" area. However, you get to see what we really came to see on this day and that's the beach.

Children's feet + sand always = cute pic.

Yes, there were a bunch of sea gulls here, but I liked that this one dutifully posed for me in front of the beach line!



My little Kodak camera couldn't quite get the shot I wanted of the surfers at Venice Beach, but you get to see the shot that I got! I enjoyed taking shots of Christy out here on the beach with AJ with the sailboat in the background.



And, this final shot of AJ as he's about to stuff a handful of sand in his mouth. He didn't like the sand at first due to how it felt on his feet, but grew to like it by the end of the day.

Hope you enjoyed our first full day in California. I know that we did! Look for more pics from our trip in the coming days/weeks. Also, checkout wallyjack.blogspot.com for other pics that our friend Robin is posting! Check out the link to the right!
