Santa Monica

After our ventures in Malibu, we picked up the boys went back to Santa Monica and had dinner at a mexican restaurant with Doug & Christy. Christy, Ashley, & Adam grew up together and now Christy lives in LA with her husband Doug. They were so hospitable and it was a lot of fun hanging out with them. We tried to convince them that Orlando is the new LA :-) 


At dinner!!
The next day the boys had class again so Ashley and I went to the Promenade in Santa Monica. It is basically a street of shops. We passed by "Yummy Cupcakes" and couldn't resist. I think we got a cinnamon and sugar cupcake with butter cream icing!! Did I mention I ate a lot and now I need to diet big time before Christmas!! 
We had to take the picture ourselves. 
It's the best we could do. 

That night we met up with Doug & Christy at a restaurant called Primitivo on Abbey Kinney Street in Venice, CA. It is a Wine and Tapas Bistro. Abbey Kinney is a neat street that has a lot of cute vintage shops and restaurants.

On Saturday we meet Doug & Christy at their house (pictured above). 
They took us to In and Out Burger and then to Diddy Riese! 
The cheapest best ice-cream and chocolate chip cookie!!

We ended our trip with a walk on the Santa Monica Pier. 
Avery was bundled up!
