We can’t come home without seeing the Pacific. We have been trying to decide for weeks about the place we will step into the water on the west coast. There are still a few options, but at this point we are planning on the iconic Santa Monica Pier. On September 9, 1909, after sixteen months of construction, the Santa Monica Municipal Pier opened to the public. Thousands of people swarmed onto the 1,600-foot-long concrete pier to enjoy a festive day of band concerts, swimming races and the novelty of walking above the waters of the Pacific Ocean. We will miss the Century celebration by a month, but it will still be amazing to see it.
This decision is not final and we would love opinions from everyone.

Years ago I visited my step-brother in San Diego in the summer (I believe it was in July) and they had an incredible sand castle building competition on the beach…I mean the sand sculptures were amazing! I’m thinking it was an annual event but not sure and not sure of the timing other than I know it was summer…but would be worth checking into
The Santa Monica Pier sounds very cool tho too!
