We have had such amazing weather everyday this week!! We have spent all our mornings up early with walks on the boardwalk....and then working all morning....and then the afternoons on the beach. It has been unbelievably perfect! I don't know how we got so luckly this week!
Today was the first day that it was slightly gloomy. Marine layer all morning! So, we worked until about 11, then decided to take a drive up the coast to Long Beach. Vince had never done that drive before, so we just took our time heading up through the little coastal cities and enjoying the sights. When we got to Long Beach, he really wanted to go to the Aquarium there.....so we did! Us, and about every school in SoCal were there :) So, we didn't spend much time there....just walked around a little...checked out some fishes.
Eyeball.....
After our little fish visit, we were hungry for some good seafood. But, it has been so long since I've been to Long Beach, I couldn't tell ya the great places to eat. So, we winged it!!! We were in tourist trap area, so knew it wasn't going to be the best of the best...and overpriced for what we were looking at. So, passed on the seafood, and settled for a really cool little Mexican restaurant on the bayside area called Tequila Jacks...right on the water overlooking the boats....that served beer in freeeeeezing cold giant mug/glasses!!! The food wasn't bad either, not "authentic", but that beer was the coldest on the planet!
Great little road trip and another notch of a Cali landmark for Vince to check off his list!
