Flat Stanley Goes to the Beach
I have been having a great time in Los Angeles since last week. These are photos of my visit to Redondo Beach. I played in the sand, watched the sunset on the Pacific, and had a lot of fun in the arcade, The Fun Factory. Like my new shades?
Check out my photos after the jump!
This is near the breakwall.
This is the crazy Fun Factory! It is really loud in here.
