We did hit Redondo Beach today. It's a little further up north from Terranea and it was a beautiful beach...

..although with a ginormous factory about a mile south that looked gutted and totally out of place.

I love the classic lifeguard shack. But it took a lot of willpower to not ask where Mitch was working today.

Parking was easy and cheap which made it easy to justify letting Nathan build a quickie sandcastle.

I don't know what he was truly aiming to construct, but he had fun.

I will always love snake's eye view shots and this sand one is no different.

We also hit two California institutions - Randy's Donuts, which was awesome...

...and Del Taco, which was only so-so. Kinda greasy and disappointing. 

Oh well. You can't win 'em all.
