The IT group I work in took an afternoon off at Santa Monica Pier, which is a shopping and amusement park out over the Pacific off the Santa Monica beach.

I won a small plush fish for Aviva and otherwise talked and took pictures….

I went by the XLube store on the way (this was for @JennyGirl7)

There is an arcade on the Pier (this reminded me of college)

DIRECTV provided lunch which was really good, right out on the Pier
