A Day in Santa Monica

As a long time lover of the show Private Practice and an eventual lover of Addison Montgomery, I really wanted to go to Santa Monica, where the show 'takes place'.

Dream complete!

It was a really nice day, which probably explained the masses on masses of people.  We gave up our dreams of ice cream when we saw the line wrapping around the corner and I have never seen a more crowded beach but I kind of like the hustle-and-bustle of places like this-minus the absence of the ice cream. Everett loved looking at all the dogs, the people and the aumesemnt park-ish rides. We strolled down muscle beach, checked out some babes, strolled some more on the pier, took some pictures and headed back to our 12 dollar parking spot!  

Then we headed over to the 3rd Street Promenade, which is blocks and blocks of shops, pedestrians only.  It was fun to people watch, Everett jammed out to all the street musicians, and we eventually found a cute little greek place to eat right on the street, probably my favorite part of the day.  

Ben usually works all day every day out here, so it was such a treat to spend all day with him and friends in beautiful Santa Monica! We were practically Addison, Jake and Henry! (minus the red hair and ethnicity)
