We decided to take the coast road up from San Diego. This led us to a cute little knitting shop with a lovely clearance section. We wandered around for a bit looking at the stores in various downtowns.
Driving down a hill we saw this beach, which happened to have an easy to get to parking lot. I also happened to have my emergency flip flops and a blanket stuffed in the back of the car. So we took an hour break to enjoy the ocean. Steven claimed it was warm enough to go swimming, and that he would have if his swimsuit had been accessible. I think he was crazy. It was nice enough to sit there in a sweater, and that's about it.
After this beach we went to Venice beach for some walking around and dinner with the friends we came down to LA with. I again wished I had brought my roller skates. I will come back there in May with them, or maybe rent a bike.
After this we got some supplies for New Year's Eve. Our plan was to have a bonfire at the fire pit in their backyard. So we got some wood, s'mores stuff, and other snacks. Turns out the fire pit is gas powered. Also, it was so windy we couldn't sit near enough to the fire to stay warm. We lasted about 20 min, but took a picture like we were having fun.
New plan, use the indoor fireplace. It was much warmer inside. We had lovely snack, but no s'mores. Then made a huge mess with party poppers at midnight. There are too many things you are supposed to do at midnight. How can you make a toast, kiss your husband, and use the noise makers all at the same time. Despite the change in plans it was a fun night.
