Fun ‘til the big “D” land!

Well, we made it to Santa Monica on Sunday late morning. Must say that the kids travel very well, much better than many adults even. We made it down to the boardwalk and met up with Helen for the afternoon and evening. A very good time, and it was awesome to see Helen!

I am just going to caption the photos and not go into much detail (I think). We are kicking our feet up tonight waiting for pizza to come to our room and then to bed early for our first long day at Disney Land in the morning.

Cole got to do his Pirate mini-golf on the Boardwalk.

Jo waited for over 30 minutes to jump on this bungee jump. She tried her best to do a flip too but didn’t quite make it over. The smile on her face was worth the wait!

Helen stayed with us while we watched the street performers (she is standing be hind us). The kids got a real kick out of all the dancing and singing.

We traveled to the La Brea Tar Pits along with stopping in Hollywood and driving through many other (I couldn’t afford their out houses) neighborhoods. The tar pit was really neat and very educational.
Two thumbs up from us.

Cole really wanted to have his photo taken with this guy. I know some of you might be saying to yourselves “What kinds of places are they taking those kids to!” But really this man was very polite and kind…scary in character, however, as you can see by Cole’s face here.

Jo saw this Batgirl from across the street and wanted to run to her then. This gal was very sweet to Jo and gave Jo a hug along with the photo. Jo almost cried with this Batgirl meeting.

Cole is standing in Darth Vader’s boot prints.

Jo has her face painted in Downtown Disney.

Good night for now!
