Easter, 2015: First Family Trip to Santa Monica

Adam and the boys came to Seattle for a long 10 day trip that spanned Easter weekend and we took full advantage of the stay to take our first family excursion out of Seattle.  We packed up our bags and headed to Santa Monica for the long Easter weekend hoping to enjoy the sun, putter around LA and maybe even ride a roller coaster on the boardwalk. 
 
While the four of had a great four days, I think we all came away deciding that Santa Monica wasn't someplace we'd rush back to. That being said, this trip results in some of my favorite pics of all time . . .
 
Noelly cool just outside of LAX waiting for the car shuttle bus.

The boys recreating a Crooked Tree experience from Dallas, walking along the upper beach promenade.

Avo donated some straw (or is it tweed) beach hats for the trip.  Really suited Pea Pie Ethan.

Daddy hugging some babies and so happy to not be working!

Pai and the boys exploring the water . . . brrrrrrrrrrrr!

Ethan deciding he'd rather enjoy the sun with Daddy.

After a bust of a day visiting the Santa Monica Boardwalk (ride tally:  zero!), we visited the Orange County Aquarium, where the boys made a friend.

And the Aquarium also had a bird section  (why?  no idea)

Noelly was fearless!

Last night, perfectly captured by Pai . . . two adorable boys admiring the palm trees.
