Marina fun

Playa Vista has a FREE beach shuttle!! It runs only Friday-Sunday, starting 10am. It has special holiday hours as well, but Im mostly into it because its a new form of transport for the boys. They LOVE anything that moves, and I LOVE FREE:) There are several drop points along the shuttle route. Its also linked with a waterbus system that takes passengers around the marina. The water bus is $1 per rider, only operates Friday 5pm - Sunday. . . cheapest marina cruise ever!!! When we went, we did not have a stroller, but I did see a family roll their stroller on board without a problem. Id imagine its wheelchair accessible too. A few weekends ago, we rode the shuttle out of Playa Vista and got off in Fishermans Village. We had dinner at El Torito and enjoyed the view of the water and boats, without the hassle and cost of parking there. Definitely a nice touch. The kids loved waiting at the bus stop and were super excited to ride again! We returned in the morning, and again dropped the car in Playa Vista and got off in Fishermans Village. This time, we boarded the water bus and cruised over to Mothers beach. We walked around the sand and had lunch at the cheesecake factory. The kids were getting cranky, so we opted for the shuttle ride back instead of the waterbus. It was kind of hard to get the shuttle there because there was somer construction going on so the mapped shuttle stop wasnt exactly where we expected to find it. My husband found another nearby stop though and we made it home in one piece. It was really fun to have two forms of transportation to explore in one morning!
