There has been many a song written about sitting and watching airplanes take off into the sunset and as romantic as it sounds, it doesn't seem to be a reality anymore in our times. What with high security measures at airports it seems the closest you can get is a couple miles away, at best. However, this is not the case at Santa Monica Airport. This small, private airport has an observation deck open to the public that is right on the airstrip! As you sit, you may see anything from a small one man airplane take off to a private jet (and everything in-between). Helping the ambiance the airport pipes in the communication between the air traffic control and the pilots. This combined with the friendly crowd that this airport typically attracts makes it a fun place to come and visit. While there you could both share about your dream vacations; where would you like to go and what would you like to do? While some of the more exotic trips may be out of reach for a while, it can be fun to dream and to see if you have any places that match up. Who knows, maybe your dreams will turn into a reality someday! After watching the planes you can look up fun place to eat that relates to somewhere you talked about going, this airport is located in the middle of some great restaurants, so you have some great picks for excellent ethnic cuisine. Here are just a few suggestions:
Crimson-Mediterranean Restaurant
Euro Deli-Mart Lituanica-Lithuania/European market and deli
Sunny Blue-Japanese
Border Grill-Mexican
