We spent last weekend in Laguna Beach with friends & it was the perfect little getaway. The kids had a blast & we loved that Noah got to experience the beach for the first time. His first order of business was finding a good stick to carry around everywhere with him. He's having a major stick moment right now. Ruby hadn't been to the beach for a while so it was all pretty new again to her. She loved exploring, looking for seashells, & mostly swimming in the heated pool. We stayed in a condo on a private beach and played, relaxed, & ate lots of good food. I think the highlight for the kids was taking a trolley ride into downtown to visit the candy shop. It was a great weekend & the kids haven't stopped talking about it since we got home. I love getting to experience these kinds of things with my kids & the way that it makes everything feel new again.
