Taking In the View

We finished our California trip with a stop at Dad's company holiday party, which was held at a hotel on the beach in Santa Monica. Jonas made quick friends with a boy named Clay, the son of one of Dad's co-workers. They spent most of their time looking out the window together (Jonas was so fond of Clay that he finished off all the crackers that Clay's Mom brought, which Clay apparently wasn't interested in. Lesson No. 1: Never leave open food around Jonas)...

...but what was it that caught their attention by the window all afternoon? Well, it was a view that looked like this.
