Laguna Beach

A few months ago Darrin and I found this wonderful cafe' in Misson beach where we had breakfast. I remembered thinking I had to for sure bring Sister to try it out. One thing that I KNOW is my sister loves is BREAKFAST!! It's her favorite meal of the day and will wake up as early as she has to to make sure she gets it! We woke up at 6:30 am to get ready before waking up Darrin and Reagan. Around 7:15 we woke up Darrin and by 8:00 we were all out the door. We had our breakfast, which was delicious - strawberry/banana pancakes, bacon and eggs and then headed up to Laguna Beach. (which is about an hour and a half north from us)

The weather was perfect all day. We strolled around in and out of a few stores (bought a $15 dollar dress that was originally $50 that is adorable) and walked along the beach. Last time we were in Laguna Darrin found this stairway that lead all the way down to the beach. So we headed over there to catch yet another amazing sunset before heading back. After the sunset we headed back home and all crashed!

We had a great weekend, here are more pictures of our trip and another amazing sunset!

La Jolla

Every time my sister comes in town we try to think of places we can take her that she hasn't seen before. La Jolla is one of the most beautiful places here and she has never been. So we decided that once Darrin got off work we would head up to La Jolla (which is about 30 minutes north) for dinner. We got there at the perfect time, the sun was just starting to set and I have to say that is one of the best parts of California. They have some of the most beautiful sunsets, they are absolutely gorgeous. The colors are so bright and change so drastically. After the sunset we went to Su Casa, our favorite Mexican Restaurant for dinner.

I love these pictures, they are some of the best we have ever taken here!
