Stace took Thursday (our actual anniversary) and Friday off so we could get away for a couple of days and a night. We woke up to this lovely message from Gregorny!
We headed south to Long Beach, and once near the ocean, took the coast road further, into Orange County. We stopped in Newport Beach and Laguna Beach before reaching our destination, Dana Point.
We stayed at a sweet Best Western, seen behind us with the blue trim, behind the lifeguard tower. Yes, we were right across from the beach!
Our lovely room - because it was a slower Thursday in September, we got upgraded to a third-floor ocean view room.
View from our room!
We went to Salt Creek Grille for dinner, where we used a gift card we'd "won" in a charity auction a few months ago.
Fancy dinner and drinks - but we also caught Happy Hour! It was a very enjoyable night.
We walked back to the beach after dinner and watched the sun set.
The next day, we walked down to the Dana Point Wharf, where we looked around the shops and had a bit of lunch.
Near the beach, this old bit of wall from the 1920s was interesting.
Later, we went a few miles inland to San Juan Capistrano to the tour the mission. (See next post.)
After, we were ready for coffee and a snack, so we treated ourselves to gelato.
Then, we went back to the coast - Laguna, to be specific - to soak up a little more beach time.
Another gorgeous OC beach sunset.
We waited until after dark to drive home, so we didn't face crazy traffic.
It was a perfect full, two-day trip away, so great to celebrate our blessed life together.
