The pier at Newport Beach just looked cool. I never had been able to run around under a pier before, to get so close to all the pylons and see the light reflected through them was really neat. The wind had really kicked up, so the spray from the ocean looked awesome against all the wood.
I really wanted to frolic in the waves, but it was honestly too darn cold and windy to do so. There were a few brave children who went for a dip though.
Ah, to be young again!
