the end of the road

Heather and I decided to take my dad to Santa Monica Pier on the last evening of his visit to California. The historical value of the pier was that historic route 66 started in Chicago and ran directly into the Santa Monica Pier. So we had a nice evening at a mexican restaurant called Marisco's on the very edge of the pier. It also has an amusement park called Pacific Park that is located on the pier and we had an opportunity to let Lyndi go on some of the rides. She is definitely bound to be a roller coaster fanatic as much as she loves to go on rides and holds no fear. I'm sure we'll have many vacations to Cedar Point once she meets certain height requirements... until then, cheers to Santa Monica.
