Los Angeles Stopover

On the way to Kauai (Hawaii), we made a quick stop in Los Angeles to spend some time in the city and on the beach.

Our first stop took us to Manhattan Beach for some time on the pier and dinner. If you have kids, the aquatic center on the pier is really worth a visit.

Considering the warm weather, I was surprised how much into Christmas Californians are. While everything was still bleak in DC, the houses and streets in Los Angeles were all ready for Christmas...

The next day greeted us with an awesome sunrise and a trip to East Los Angeles...

And of course I never go to LA without driving on the PCH (Pacific-Cost Highway) and ending up at Matador Beach...
