Venice Beach.

On Saturday we decided to go to Venice Beach. I'd never been there and it was suppose to rain the next day so we jumped in the car and went. The beach was interesting to say the least. There were quite a few "characters" there! We walked around the beach and the outdoor gym (Muscle Beach). John climbed the rope and we watched the skaters at the outdoor skate ramps. There were some pretty good skaters, but one little kid that had just turned 7 was rad! We couldn't stop watching him. We took some pics of him skating and a close up pic of him. Then we headed over to the Venice Canals. I've been to the part of the canals before, but John hadn't so it was fun to go explore them more. It really reminded me of when we were in the Venice, Italy. Such a cool little place! There are tons of different styles of homes. I guess quite a few movies have been filmed there. Each home, has their own canoe if they want to get around. It was a fun day! Here is HUGE photo dump of pics from our camera and my dad's. New Year's Eve post below this post...

This buddy was hilarious. He was wasted and just trying to fit in and do the dance moves the others were doing.
