Long Beach trip

Saturdays seem to be our family fun day and this past Saturday we were headed down to long beach for a little bit and it was a beautiful day. Ethan and I took a walk to the beach and I have to say that I have never been to a softer beach ever!! We have been to a few beaches in the 7 years we have been together, Newport, Huntington, Santa Monica, and now Long Beach and I must say it is beautiful!! The sand was oh so soft, the beach was not busy at all, the beach went right up to the water no walking forever to reach the water and the water was wavy but not super choppy. Ethan and I took a stroll down the beach soaking our feet in the water alittle and writing his name in the sand which he thought was pretty cool. Then we decided to take a trip a little ways down the road to Bubba Gumps Shrimp Co.....YUMMY!!!!!! Ethan loves Bubba Gumps because he gets his food delivered in a boat lol the food was delicious as always and now it was time to walk down the Long Beach Pier; while on our walk we went past a tour boat that does a 45 min harbor tour in a boat the last tour was at 7 so we decided what the heck, Ethan probably doesnt ever remember being on a boat so lets take a harbor tour!! We did however forget that at 7pm at night on the ocean water it tends to be alittle cold.....We saw many different boats on the water, the shipping yards, Queen Mary, some of the oil islands and we even got to see 2 sea lions, a girl and a boy, in their natural habitat hanging out sunbathing on a buoy. Ethan had so much fun on the boat and thought it was just the coolest thing ever so I am very happy we took our mini trip to Long Beach to enjoy what was suppose to be just a quick trip into an all day event! I loved it!!! ♥
