Yes, your lodging is very nice. That’s a very large suit(bigger than my apt.) Love the coffee station. 😄 The colors…if they had picked just one of those blues, preferably a lighter paler one & used it throughout it would have been better.

Agreed. It was a very aggressive color choice! Way outside my comfort zone!

Well we can’t have the fish dryin’ out. That strip of sand/beach looks good to me. It looks pleasant & close to the water…😁 In Los Angeles we have MANY beaches. All the ones ‘by’ me are too darn wide. Trying to get close to the water is more than my body can do.

I lived in Santa Monica and I remember the water was so far from the start of the sand! My mom gave up when she came to visit. It was too long of a walk! I totally get you!

@ LOL…yep that’s the worst*. From the parking lot to the water was like trying to cross this freaking Sahara. And if you’ve got any stuff with you…ice chest, chairs, towels…anything for the kids…forget it. I don’t know how we managed stuff when my mom took my brother and me. I do remember though needing to buy drinks, maybe even food. Hmmm…maybe we weren’t at Santa Monica. LOL. Where ever we were, it was a hike. Mom would put out the blankets. I ran off to the water. My brother was only two, so she had to keep an eagle eye on him. I don’t know how we managed to not get burned lobster red. We were all pretty fair skinned. Even the best suntan lotions back then wouldn’t last in the water at all. *Huntington Beach isn’t much better.
