Day Trip to Venice Beach, CA
When my friends suggested a day trip to Venice Beach, I couldn’t resist. It had been several years since I had last been there, so I packed up the Lensbaby and headed out. Venice Beach is a visual paradise, with no shortage of characters.
We started our day on the boardwalk. With so many shops, restaurants, and things to check out, you can wander for hours. And, it’s definitely a great place to people watch!
Next it was time to hit the beach, and bust out the surfboards. The waves weren’t huge, but they were big enough for the kids.
We finished our day with a Margherita Pizza and Beer at Danny’s on Windward Avenue. Yum! What a perfect way to end a super fun day!
