Dana Point, California

Dana Point, California

It's our last day in beautiful California! Thinking of going back home to a blizzard in Colorado makes me want to cry 😭  

This was a short trip - my boyfriend and I went for only two nights (he was dj'ing a friend's wedding). But! We still tried to fit in as many fun things as we could. 

Day 1: We landed at the Orange County airport, rented a car and got to our hotel in Dana Point. We were both pretty hungry so we drove down the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway for short) to get dinner at a restaurant called Javier's near Newport Beach. We got shrimp and crab enchiladas, a lobster enchilada, a chile relleno, a shrimp taco, and a couple of delicious margaritas! It was a beautiful restaurant with a fun atmosphere and great food 😍  I would definitely recommend trying it if you are in that area.

Day 2: Our friends' wedding! On the way to set up, we stopped and grabbed some lunch at the Beach Hut Deli. We got two sandwiches and a couple of cookies for dessert (try the s'mores cookie, it was amazing πŸ˜‹) Then we went to set up for the wedding! It was at Salt Creek Beach, in front of the Ritz Carlton in Dana Point. Although it was a little windy, the beach was absolutely beautiful! 

Day 3: We woke up and were craving In-N-Out, so we packed our things and made our way to one near the airport. πŸ” Now I am on the plane home and already missing the sunshine!

California Traveling Tips: 

- Drive along the PCH as much as you can! Most of it runs right along the ocean and gives you the most beautiful views while you're driving πŸŒ΄β˜€οΈ 

- Before you go to In-N-Out, check out their secret menu! http://secretmenus.com/in-n-out-burger/secret-menu/
