Jeff had a meeting this weekend in Los Angeles, so we took off yesterday and had dinner at Houston's Restaurant in Manhattan Beach. Whenever Jeff has a chance to eat at a Houston's, we're there! :-) All roads lead to Houston's! We stayed at the hotel where the meeting took place. Tiffani and I enjoyed reading and chatting while Jeff was away.
And we enjoyed some Family Time today at the Santa Monica Pier. We had lunch outside at Rusty's Surf Ranch on the Pier. Then rode the Ferris Wheel. Jeff and Tiffani had a little treat, while I had Strawberry Cream green tea from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. 
One of my favorites! 
We had a sunny, cloudless, warm day. We walked to the end of the pier and down the steps to see the posts holding up the hundreds of thousands of pounds of cars, restaurants and amusement rides on the pier...a sight to behold.
We watched talented pier performers: break-dancers, a man singing old Rock 'n Roll, a woman singing gospel, and painters. On the way out, Jeff threw 4 baseballs, which stayed in the red bucket, to win Tiffani a stuffed blue & pink puppy...that she immediately named Blink (combining blue & pink).
We passed by Muscle Beach on the way back to the car and found an empty bench with our names on it. We sat and soaked in the sun's rays for a while, watching acrobats and free-form dancers. Marveling at the strength of all ages climbing ropes thirty feet above the ground and swinging on rings.
