Beach Days

This past weekend Levi and I heading down to the beach for a little R&R. We started the morning out by going to Laguna Beach/Crystal Cove area to have breakfast at the yummy Beachcomber Cafe. If you haven't been there, you should go, its a great experience. It's part of the Crystal Cove State Park Historic Distrct. There is a lot to do in this area. There are paths to walk or run on, right along the coast, you can go for a walk along the beach and there are even beach cottages you could stay in. I was reading up on the cottages and they were originally built in the 1930's & 40's. They have since been authentically restored to reflect that area of when Crystal Cove became a community. Some of them are kinda cute! It would be fun to stay in them for a night or two :)

After Levi and I have breakfast we headed towards a different part of the beach called 'the wedge' in Newport Beach known for its awesome waves. We found a great spot and enjoying relaxing, reading, and most of all people watching :) We were pretty entertained to say the least! Overall we had a great relaxing day and are once again thankful for being so close to the beach.

Milk + Honey

I am so blessed to have all the wonderful friends that I do. God has truely blessed me with great friends and friendships. This last week I was able to catch up with Cathleen! We have a few 'usual' spots where we meet but this week we decided to try something new. Its a little place in Costa Mesa called Milk + Honey. I love unique places like this. The sign alone is one of my favorite parts; I love the simplicity of it. My second favorite part is their 'business card'. I grabbed a couple of them when I was ordering. I love the uniqueness of it. Who says a business card has to be 2" x 3.5"? I love when people think outside the box. Not to mention their food & drinks are pretty good too :)

Cathleen caught in the act!

Yum!
