I’m keeping this short and sweet in regards to other blog posts. I’m letting the pictures do the talking because they have captions. Excuse the bird crap on the car window pictures. Los Angeles birds love to crap on windows right after you get a car wash. It never fails. I’m sure others can relate in other cities.
Ten years ago I visited the Pacific Ocean at Santa Monica with a person I didn’t know would last or could stand my independence over the years. Fast forward to ten years later and we’re still together.
I call him my roommate much of the time because that is what he is to me, but he’s more than that to me when you put the puzzle pieces together. He recently told me I have taught him much over these years, which I am glad. It’s nice to know you helped someone.
He’s taught me much over these past ten years too. It was never my goal to meet someone when I moved to Los Angeles. I suppose things have a way of working out in some respects. We surpassed our ten year mark in June so here’s to hopefully more years ahead.
If anyone is wondering, I did beat him in Skee Ball like I did in 2007.
There’s always something on Sepulveda Blvd. whether construction or driving in one lane.
I’m getting closer to Santa Monica Pier. The air is getting cooler. I love it.
I’m greeted by water shooting dinosaurs on Santa Monica Promenade.
Here’s another dragon shooting water with two stickers someone placed over its eyeballs.
After the car was parked nearby, I looked at the beach from above.
It doesn’t look too crowded from this spot. Who am I kidding? It’s going to be jam packed.
It’s a packed beach with all kinds of people under umbrellas.
It’s probably the most acessible to those who live in Los Angeles.
I first came here ten years ago, and looks the same minus a few things. I forgot to ride the Ferris Wheel or the small roller coaster. I guess there’s the next time.
There’s always people fishing at any of the piers. I’m 99% confident in this.
People busy soaking up rays and cooling down in the water. It was more blue than what I remember and didn’t stink as much.
I’m on the Santa Monica pier walkway. This is toward the end of my visit. I’m happy to be going home so I can take a shower.
I played Skee Ball and would have won more tickets had Wheel of Fortune game not been half broken.
The tickets resulted in this prize for my roommate while I decided on a Lemonhead. It was such a good trade off.
