We started in Santa Monica, right near Muscle Beach and the Pier. It was great fun to see Elsa's tricks on the traveling rings. She then took 3 trapeze classes on the Pier. It is so amazing to see her fearlessly fly through the air.
On Saturday afternoon, we headed out on the light rail o the California Science Center. It is always so amazing to see and walk under the space shuttle. We then explored the special Dog exhibit and saw a fun IMAX movie on SuperPower Dogs.
Sunday we continued to enjoy the beach, building sand creations and playing a bit in the water (Elsa more than anyone else). This is such a fun and happy place for us to visit.
On Monday we headed down to Arne's cousin Ryan's home on Balboa Island to meet up with his family. We hung out at the house and then in the afternoon I took Elsa out Paddle Boarding. Liam loved doing Legos with his uncle.
For New Year's Eve, we headed down to Legoland. Liam was able to meet up with his friend Karam and Elsa and her cousins' had fun on all the rides. After the sun set, we all came together to watch the brick drop and see the Lego fireworks.
What a wonderful trip, revisiting so many of our favorite places in SoCal.
