The last week before school started we took a quick trip Channel Islands National Park. We left on Sunday after church and had lunch in Santa Monica. Our first stop was a small shop called Sunny Blue.
Their specialty is omusubi, or rice balls.
As you can see, the store is really tiny inside.
I ordered the Sunny Blue Curry, D had the Kara Tuna, and the kids each had a Tokyo Tori (chicken with sweet and sour sauce). Normally I would balk at paying $3-4 per rice ball, but I must admit, they were really good. k even decided that rice balls are her all time favorite food!
n was not to big a fan of the complimentary barley tea, but I thought it was nice and refreshing.
Next we walked around the adjacent farmers market that is held on Sundays.
The longest line was at the Country Kitchen omelette station, so we hopped in line. The assembly line was actually quite fast, so our was not too long.
You pick your own toppings, and your omelette makes its way down each burner until it is done.
We picked bacon, asparagus and cheddar, and it came with potato chips, which I found a little odd. It was quite large, but we finished it without a problem.
We picked up a bag of oranges and bread for our dinner and walked back to our car.
I really liked how the paint here matched the succulents.
Doesn’t this look like a neat elementary school?
Cool public art!
We do not make it to Santa Monica very often, so it was a nice stop. The weather was so pleasant and everyone seemed to be having a good time enjoying their Sunday.
