Huntington Beach, also known as Surf City USA because of having the most surf shops per square ft. and surfers in the water, was just what we needed. We started off our getaway at The Sky Room, a dinner at the first Hilton hotel. Surprisingly, we drove the route of the Long Beach Half marathon. The drive was much less strenuous, but still a good 40 min. away from our hotel. We took the old elevator to the top floor where dined with sweeping views of the city. Eddie ordered the short ribs with gnocchi and I had the ahi tuna with soba noodles. The night before I surprised Eddie with a swing dancing class, so with a live band, we attempted to show off some of our moves. It was nice to take in a run in the am, while Eddie opted for the super nice gym onsite. We had a relaxing lunch at the resort in the shade. Although we had planned on going to Oktoberfest nearby, we opted to not drive and took a walk across the street to the beach boardwalk where we rented a surrey bike. It's a lot harder than it looks! We didn't go anywhere very fast, but it was a fun day.
