ocean avenue + 3rd street promanade + santa monica pier. very romantically cheesy. =D
*
after quite a bit of begging, my parents agreed to take marc and me to the santa monica pier.
when we got there, it was freezing. and the first thing we did was go onto the beach. it was great- see, we both were broke, and sitting in the sand talking was enough for us. after like, 2 hours of sitting, we walked to the promanade. man- that place was like.. shopping heaven. lol- urban outfitters, sephora, hear music- thanks x1000 to marc for putting up with it. hehe-
then, he had a rumble in his tumble and we ate.. in the food court! whoop... go us.
we were walking back to the pier in the dark, and i never realized how many crazy people there were in santa monica.
because it was dark, marc said we had to go on the ferris wheel. yeah- and i had to hold him cuz he was too scared, lol.
i finally had a dippin' dots.. that is probably some of the best ice cream i've had in my life. =D so, we sat at the end of the pier, just talking, while eating our dippin' dots, while watching the asian tourists and what not.
while we were sitting there, i looked off at the beach, and i was like, "whoever's on the beach is crazy." he smiled, looked back at me and said, "i'm crazy... let's go!" =/
so, it was like... 9pm. i didn't think anyone was on the beach cuz it was freezing, and you couldn't see anything. but that was probably the best part of the day. he had his arm around me, and we had to struggle to walk through the sand cuz it was so dark. we sat near the spot we were earlier, but the water beat us to it. we didn't talk. we both just stared out at the water, and at the pier. it was so gorgeous- i've never seen a view like that before. i can't even describe it; the pier was lit up, with the ferris wheel, and roller coaster, and the ocean was just black, and then a boat would pass by. it was hard to tell where the ocean ended and the sky began; so it seemed like the boats were flying. or maybe it was just late, and i was tired. so we sat there, and stared.
walking back to the pier was so hard. he chased me and tried to push me over, so i had to run, then chased him. we were just so cool!
but that was honestly one of the best days that i'll never forget. =]
