We had been locked down for too long. Going stir-crazy, we book a hotel in Santa Monica and head there to spend time at the beach. This is sort of a test trip for our upcoming vacation in Colorado and New Mexico. The wagon proved to be handy, since it was a walk down the California Incline, across the bridge, and across the parking lot to get to the sandy stretch of beach.
