monday was a little drizzly and overcast, so we headed out to broadway at the beach for a little shopping and dining and walking around. and whining. 🙂 here’s the walking. some rock candy soothed the whining. we were hoping to do magicquest with isaac and build-a-bear with anna. but, once were in build-a-bear, isaac […]
