So we parked our car in the FREE public parking which is a bit of a walk from the beach, but walking was our purpose anyway. I hate the expensive parking rates of Hermosa Beach! Anyway, we walked down to Hermosa Pier and began our workout. Benny as riding peacefully in his stroller with his socks off! We just kep walking without a particular distane or destination in mind and before we knew it, we were at Manhattan Beach Pier.
Since the weather was so nice, we couldn't resist going down to the water and getting our feet wet. This was Benny's first time ever touching the ocean waters! We put his feet in the sand and he began digging his toes in. I took him out to the water (which was still too cold for swimming) and I put his little feetsies in! It didn't phase him one bit!
We decided to walk back to Hermosa Pier on the sand and take our time. Whew, it was a work out. Benny hadn't napped much at all and was fussing so we had to stop every few minutes to appease the teething boy! Eventually we just carried him in our arms to keep him from screaming! We were beat dead when we finally arrived back at our car. How far had we actually walked? I guessed the piers were about 1 mile apart since we could see each pier from the other today (the visability was perfect). When we arrived home and measured the distance via google, our total distance measured in at a whopping 4.5 miles! Little did we know that just by parking our car away from the water and avoiding parking charges we would gain another mile under our belt!
Below are some fun pics...enjoy!
