Thanks to L & her beautiful boy B for showing us fantastic Airport Park at the Santa Monica Airport (when we got there the playground sand had just been raked) and then introducing us to the Santa Monica Airport Observation Deck. It's a patio with bleacher seats right on the edge of the tarmac and the kiddos can watch all the planes taking off and landing. They even pipe in audio from the control tower to make it extra authentic. Superfun day, great location and we'll definitely be going back there in the future!
