Run Away Weekend!

Things have been a little tense and crazy with the 2 of us lately.  Both of us have a lot going on and haven't been communicating well.  So, I planned a mini-moon to Laguna Beach for Presidents Day Weekend.  The problem, it was also a stormy, wet weekend.  But we needed to get away.  
We started with a workout trip to Planet Fitness.  I'm still carrying quite a bit of baby weight, so I need to get back to fitness. I put in 45 minutes and totally hated it.  But, hey, its a start.
 We came home, showered and headed up the coast to our destination.  We couldn't check into our hotel until 3, so we had plenty of time.  We stopped in San Clemente for lunch at Pedro's tacos.  Then we made a pit stop at Salt Creek and took a nice walk on the beach.  The rain had stopped and the view was beautiful!
 It was cold and windy, but oh so pretty!
 And we left all of our cares behind and just loved on each other!
No Hurries, No Worries!
 We made another stop at Aliso Creek and watched the huge, pounding beach break!  Jeremy wanted to body surf so bad!
 We got to Laguna around 2:30 PM.  We called our hotel and asked if we could check in early and they said yes!  So, we checked into the Laguna Brisas Hotel, right on the PCH across from Bluebird Beach.  And the sweet girls in the lobby, hooked us up with a sweet upgrade, and we got a room with a jacuzzi and an ocean view!
 We headed up to the roof to take in the sunset on our first night!  
We walked into town for a yummy dinner at Brussels Bistro and took the trolley back to the hotel for a comfy night in our room.
Sunday morning, Jeremy wanted to check out Stacks Pancake House in Dana Point for breakfast.  Unfortunately for me, I woke up full of snot and a sore throat.
So, while we were waiting for our food, I felt so sick.  I ordered safely and got oatmeal, while Jeremy got something amazing. 
 My oatmeal was just what I needed and I felt so much better after I ate!
I was ready to explore!
We headed to Thousand Steps Beach-
 Again, it was cold and windy, but oh so beautiful!

 I really wanted to get a close up of the cave, but these dorks were sitting right in front of it eating and drinking beer...
And of course, once they finally left, they left all of their trash.
 So, Jeremy and I climbed over and picked up all the trash and took a rad pic of the cave...Yay!

 Love this place!
 After our beach exploration, I was beat!  So, we headed back to the hotel for a nap!
After our naps, we took a nice walk to Nick's for dinner!  Always the yummiest food!
The Trolley dropped us off at Bluebird, so we headed down to look at the waves all lit up on our last night...
 Monday was Presidents Day and our check out day!
I still had a little cold, but was feeling better that the day before.
After checking out, we stopped at Treasure Island Park...


 And we hiked around the point to take in these amazing views and treasures:











The sun popped out and warmed us up!  It was a spectacular day and wonderful way to end our much needed weekend together away!
