Taking On The Pacific Coast Highway - Day 1

Stop 1 - Old L.A. Zoo: We began our trip around 3am in order to put us into L.A. by mid-morning. Our first stop was the Old L.A. Zoo. The old zoo is now can now be found in the middle of a park near downtown L.A. The kids were able to run through the park exploring the old cages where the animals were once kept. It was a bit eery to walk in the halls where such dangerous animals once roamed.

Stop 2 - Santa Monica Pier: When we arrived in Santa Monica our first stop was at the beach. After spending a few hours playing in the sand we got some dinner and finished our day eating ice cream at the pier. The highlight of the evening was riding the ferris wheel at sunset while the kids looked down at all the people below. It was a great day to start off our PCH road trip.
