Spring Break: Redondo/Hermosa beach with fabulous friends

As we arrived at The Beach House Hotel our room was not ready.
It sits on The Strand in Hermosa Beach.
Boys were happy to go to the beach to wait.

Our friends daughter, Skylar was very excited to create molded fixtures with the boys. This was super fun for them.

Skylar wanted to take the boys for a ride in her Cadillac. Also, show them the park she plays at.

While Julie & Rob were out with the kids Randy & I prepped dinner. I was really just the sous chef. These delicious creations were all Randy. He was is an amazing cook. Full of passion and trying new dishes.

These brussel-sprouts were the most amazing!
The white bean salad- so delish!
The beef tenderloin was roasted to perfection.

My girlfriend Julie makes the most moist, delicious & yummy rum cake.
We all enjoyed it for dessert.
It was such a lovely time spending the day & evening with our friends.

The weather was overcast all weekend. It was in the low 60’s. The boys did not mind.
Sunday morning we spent a few hours on the beach before heading to Palm Springs.
Knowing Cali weather we wanted to end our vacation in warm sun and just relax.

Bren could have stayed the entire day. Watching the surfers and running from the waves.
