When's the last time you've taken a stroll along Santa Monica's most infamous landmark?  If you haven't been there in a number of years, you should make a point to re-discover all that it has to offer, because you'll find there's alot more available than what you may remember.  For those that haven't been there, you really should take an afternoon and go exploring.  

The Pier (site of my very first job at age 12 at Minnie's Restaurant) features a broad range of activities.  From playing games and riding the new roller-coaster to taking in the breathtaking views of the beaches, there's fun for the whole family.
