2013/04/22 Monday: Palm Springs and Marilyn

We started our drive to Palm Springs by stopping for lunch at Seal Beach.  We ate at a burrito place, then took a long walk on their long pier.  There were lots of people fishing, and one fisherman caught a manta ray.  It was pretty awful to watch the process of them lowering a net basket to pull it up so they could remove the hook and then throwing it back.

We stopped at the Sketchers factory outlet when we saw it off the freeway.  Nick has been needing some new shoes.  He found a couple pair, but the real prize was Gigi's new shoes.  She played with shoes just like these at a friends house and obviously loved them.  I tried to buy her some, but no one had them in her size.  Sketchers only had one pair, but they fit Gigi so it was a lucky find.  I would have bought the next size up too if they had it.

The shoes light up along the top front and the size.  They are very good at getting people's attention.

We arrived at Palm Springs and checked into our hotel, which is beyond nice.  In exploring town a little, we discovered the same tacky statue of Marilyn Monroe that was in Chicago is now here.
