Our next stop was the Los Angeles Temple. We drove through some interesting areas on the way and also Beverly Hills!It was fun to see Beverly Hills. The houses are really pretty but the nicest house in the area was the temple ;) I was blown away by the temple. I've seen pictures of it but it is so much bigger than it looks and it is beautiful! The grounds were gorgeous too and it was so relaxing to walk around. I wish we could have gone in and done a session but maybe next time. I also didn't know it is the second largest so that was interesting to learn. I always feel so peaceful at the temple. After a busy day, it was so nice to relax at the temple for a bit.
We also went to the visitors center :)
After the temple we decided to stay with our theme of relaxing so we headed to the beach. First we drove a bit along the coast but I guess you have to get out of Malibu for the coastline drive to get pretty and we didn't have time so that was a little disappointing since all we saw were houses blocking our ocean view. We did get out though in Malibu and went to the beach. It was a bit chilly so their weren't a lot of people around which was really nice. The water was freezing but we still had fun walking on the beach and sitting just looking out at the ocean. The sound of the waves is really relaxing.
After the beach we went back to Santa Monica for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. YUM! The food was so good and we also stopped for milkshakes on the way home. The drive home was long and we were exhausted but it was a wonderful trip!! Thank you to grandma for watching Daniel for the day so we could get away together :)
