Labor Day weekend ended up being a last minute soccer-free weekend so the girls and I made the most of it since Matt was in the Bay Area visiting Dave. With nothing on the calendar, we decided to spend the day in Santa Monica. We started with lunch at the new Steak and Shake and shopping on the 3rd Street Promenade. Both girls found some cool stuff and we watched lots of great street performers.
Then we walked a few short blocks to the Santa Monica Pier.
It was a busy beach day as summer comes to an end.
There were so many cute food trucks, but we were saving room for Afters on our ride home.
This fun new ice cream shop is in Chino Hills, although I think there is at least one more location in Torrance.
It is home to the "Milky Bun" and is so cute inside.
They have very unique flavors and are all hand written on the glass. We tried "Churro", "Cookie Monster", "Cookie Butter" and "Triple C's" (Chocolate Chips, Chocolate Fudge and Caramel).
Here is the famous "Milky Bun"…a warm glazed donut filled with a scoop of your favorite ice cream. I went with Triple C's and it was delicious! The first few bites absolutely melt in your mouth
but by about this bite, it was getting a little too sweet! I'm glad I tried it, but we all agreed we could have shared. I think the ice cream in a waffle cone would have been even better or the donut alone would have been perfect!
It is certainly a popular place. This was the line out the door as we were leaving.
