With inspiration from my dear sister-in-law, Rachel, I embark on this adventure - capturing an image every day for a year both to have for myself and to share with you. My hope is that through this effort, I will "keep peace in the noisy confusion of life" - taking time to notice the small things, celebrate the big things, and more fully appreciate the gift of each new day. Of course, I had every intention of beginning this on January 1st - but when that day came and went without a blog, Rachel assured me that this project can begin on any day. After a slow start, I really hope I can pull it off - and that you'll enjoy it!

Day 98 - April 16: The Santa Monica Pier

This morning we visited the Santa Monica Pier, a classic California scene we've all seen in movies and on television.  Paul Newman's girlfriend in "The Sting" ran the Merry Go Round, the "Three's Company" cast rode bikes along the boardwalk during the opening credits, and for my younger readers, "Hannah Montana"'s Lilly worked the Pier's game booth.  It was a great morning of old fashioned fun, complete with hot dogs, ice cream, and roller coasters.  We watched three street performers put on a fantastic show of gymnastics and break dancing - which got even better when our kids were pulled into the act.
