Oh this is Very Awesome!!! It's got to be the ever so famous Santa Monica Pier! They purposely posed in front of it!!!
Love their whole outfits. And how awesome is that to have this photo of your own family. Wow, thanks for sharing this ttomtucker!
What a great family photo, love it!
Thanks for sharing!
Shareurpassion, I believe your right it is the Santa Monica Pier. The family lived in Los Angeles and a short trip down Santa Monica Blvd would have been easier that a trip to Redondo Beach. I had read where the Santa Monica Pier had burn down in 1912. I'm basing the date of this photo by my grandmother being about 10 years old, she was born in 1902. like most family photo's there no information on the back. I have another photo where they are going to take a ride on the Catalina Island Steamer.
And it looks like the same day too. Long Beach is the city where you take the boat over to Catalina. I think it's always taken off from there but it sure doesn't look like that anymore! It now takes about 40 minutes to get from Santa Monica Pier to Long Beach.
These are just awesome photos. One of these days soon I'll get over there and shoot some pics so you can see how it looks now.
Fabulous photos..how lucky and precious to have this!....:-)
Adorable post!!!!
shareurpassion, I thought the Catalina steamer was out of San Pedro or Wilmington
back in those days. When I took a boat ride to Catalina in 1959, we went out of San Pedro.
Great 4 gen photo....love the idea behind them, thanks for sharing
Absolutely, Lisa! You have the eye!!!
Wonderful family memories with 4 generations :-)
I still love this photo and honestly have thought of it often, so thought it was great to see it again!
