Venice Beach









Oh, Venice Beach....what can I say about this place that has not
already been said? It's wild and full of life. If there is one beach
that is highly entertaining and offers so much to do, it's this
place.

    GORGEOUS! I grew up in SOFL and this reminds me a little of South Beach Miami... but still i'm sure it's totally unique all on it's own.

    I'm so bummed that the USMC isnt letting us move to Cali -- they chose NC for us over San Diego. Womp Womp!

    I will never forget my first time to Venice Beach (I was probably about 9)! There truly is nothing quite like it and you do have to visit there to understand how unique it is. Thanks for taking me down memory lane! :-)

    I agree! You just took me on a little mini vacay! :) And if you saw the buckets of rain outside my window right now, you'd know how much more I wish I was in the sunshine!!

    Val, I love the photos so much! I think I need to visit California someday and Venice Beach is a must-see. Lots of lovely ice falling from the sky here today to lay on top of the massive snowfall that we got this weekend. 1-3 inches predicted for Saturday night ended up somewhere around 8 inches instead and that was on top of the foot or so that we got on Friday. :)

    Thank you for the tour! Candace

    I spent yesterday at Venice Beach, but the one here in Florida, not the one there. However, I do have many fond memories of your Venice, there is no better place to people watch.

    These gorgeous pictures have me yearning for summer! We're fortunate to live by the ocean, too, BUT, it's a tad bit chillier here. :( You're so fortunate to have such beautiful weather! Thanks for sharing such wonderful pics. And, thank you for your super sweet note about my dining room! Have a great day, Becca
