DISNEYLAND…DAY 8: SANTA MONICA

On the morning of April 11th we slept in a bit, and then everyone got ready, ate a little breakfast and we loaded our luggage and Disneyland paraphernalia up into the suburban. All of our Disney fun was (sadly) over, but we decided to head down the road for about an hour to Santa Monica Beach for lunch and to play for awhile before heading back to Sacramento for the night!

we knew we were going to eat at bubba gumps, since we had never had it before, but heard it was really good!

Even though it wasn’t the most “beautiful” beach…and it had a few “crazies,” it was sweet memories!!!

we didn’t get to Sac until around 8 that evening, so we checked into the hotel, left the kids there while brandon and I ran up to In-n-out for some dinner we brought back to the hotel, (brody was out for the night) so we had a quiet late night dinner and relaxed in bed. tomorrow evening we were going to be home!
