The beach and going home - Day 5 & 6

Sunday was going to be the relaxing day. We were staying on the beach but had been so busy that we had hardly seen it. When we went to eat at Mr. Chow on Thursday night we didn't take any pictures so we first wanted to go back down to Beverly Hills and walk down Rodeo Drive and take some pictures.

We grabbed a bite to eat at a fish restaurant right up the street from our hotel and then headed over to Hermosa Beach. The beach was nice and not crowded. Cirdan and I sat on the beach and just took pictures and relaxed. There is something very nice about listening to the waves crash. We walked a bit on the beach and of course took our share of pictures.

Then we went right next door to Redondo Beach (where we stayed) and walked the Boardwalk. We stopped for ice cream. Cirdan was wishing we had come to the pier more.....there was tons of fresh fish. He loves fish and fish tacos!

We cleaned up at the hotel and headed out for a movie. We ended up at an indoor/outdoor mall...we got our tickets and had about an hour to kill. We went to Starbucks and got some caramel apple drink that was a little too sweet but still good. It was nice to do the little things and not worry about the kids! (Thanks Mom)

The next morning we woke up and headed to the airport. Since we took an earlier flight to make it to the Ellen Show we thought my mom would appreciate us getting back on Monday as soon as we could. We made it standby on a morning flight. It was so good to see the girls. Ella's hair seemed to grow in the 6 days that we were gone. We are so thankful for my mom. She was so wonderful to help us with the girls while we were away.
