could it get any better than chinese take-out & santa monica pier?

Yesterday was a great day. It was relaxing, as I did some homework, watched 3 episodes of Psych (love Shawn & Gus), read Soul Cravings, talked to family on the phone, mailed some people... it was just a wonderful & relaxing day. Erin & I took Lena to the airport, gave her a wonderful goodbye for the weekend (yes, we made a show by hugging then yelling out the window...), and decided to have an adventure.

We picked up Chinese take-out and headed to Santa Monica Pier. We found amazing parking, walked to the beach, and found a bench on the pier. Prime people watching, fantastic food, the smell of the sea and sound of the waves made a perfect night! On the pier we were able to watch fishermen catch lobster & sting rays and watch people try the trapeze, then we headed over to the promenade, to watch street musicians. It was a fun & random night!
