Mommy Group: Santa Monica

The other day Tyson and I met up with two mommies the other day in Santa Monica at the pier. We met first at Bubba Gumps where we had lunch. It's funny because almost everything on the menu there is shrimp or other sea food and all three of us ordered chicken sandwiches. All the kids got balloons tied to their chairs to keep them occupied and Tyson loooved his. He also loved flirting with all of the people at the tables next to ours. He must have stared at this lady and her husband for like 20 minutes straight just laughing and waving at them. After we finished eating we headed down to the pier aquarium. It was really cheap to get in...only $5 and once we entered I could understand why. It was super small. lol. There were about 5 big tanks with sea animals in them, mostly just fish and then just a few little learning things spread out around. I geuss they had a good amount of animals though

When we first walked in there were HUGE eels in the first tank. I mean they were so big. I dont even think i've ever seen an eel before. But there were starfish, and huge lobsters, and a tank with small sharks in them. They also had a hands on exhibit where you could touch sea enineme (sp?) and sea cucumbers and stuff.

After the aquarium trip, which only took about 20 minutes, we decided to head to the beach and hang out a little bit. Tyson played in the sand some and then we headed off home. It was a good day to get out of the house. We rarely go to the Santa Monica area so it was nice. The weather was perfect too!
