After church and lunch at In n Out, we left the boys with Grandma and Grandma for Camp Grandma and hopped into mom's Element and headed for Laguna Beach - ALONE. The last time we had a getaway alone was 2 years before, and with no nursing baby it was time again! It was such a nice, and somewhat strange, feeling to have uninterrupted quiet time together. We spent a lot of it just quietly hanging out and reading at our hotel, with some walking around Laguna Beach shopping area and the beach scene. The thing that struck me as the most different from my mom-life was just sitting on a bench on the boardwalk for an hour or so, chatting with a guy who was quite a local character. We could never sit that long and chat with anyone with the boys circulating around us. It was fun to people-watch and hear this guy's stories.
The view from our balcony.
Dinner downstairs in the hotel restaurant.
Fun to be on the beach at night with all the pretty lights on the water.
Our room at the Pacific Edge hotel - affordable with fun decor and very clean and comfortable.
A fun alley we walked through.
I love the dark green with dark wood and iron, and the big beautiful tree.
We got out early in the morning for a walk on the beach.
We enjoyed having breakfast at the Orange Inn, and then came across this charming pot bellied surfer Santa on the way back.

Oh this looks SOOOO relaxing! I think Chris and I will have to stay there when our life calms down! =) I'm glad you and Jim had such a wonderful time away.
It looks so relaxing and different from your everyday life! I'm so glad you were able to do it. Gorgeous pictures!
Wow! Check out that bathroom tub. Are those strings of beads hanging in front of the mirrors?
I am so glad you had such a great get away! And great pictures to remember it by.
