California Trip! - Part 2 - Fun at the Beach

Just a few hours later, we disembarked from our jet, found our luggage, hopped on a shuttle, and headed for the car rental dealership where we were going to get our rental car. We rented a nice, brand new Town & Country Mini Van, with leather seats. It was quite a treat! :-) 

Dad & Mom decided to head to the Santa Monica Beach for a while before driving to my Great Aunt & Uncle's house for a couple of nights. Esther fell asleep in the van so Dad waited with her at the car while Mom took the rest of us to the beach.  After a while Dad & Esther joined us. There were a TON of people down there, so after a short time at the beach and a quick walk down the pier, we left for Aunt Stella & Uncle Don's house.
