Blake and I left the kids on with Mimi and Papa for the weekend and headed to Orange County for an early celebration of our 5 year wedding anniversary. It was hard to leave the kids (I have only been away from Addison overnight a couple times, and never from Finn), but turned out to be a wonderful, and relaxing time away from home.
We stayed right on the beach in Laguna, walking distance to everything and did check out the neighboring towns of Newport and Corona Del Mar. We really loved the area (though never in my life have I seen so many 7-series and range rovers in one place), especially Laguna. It was so beautiful and relaxing and full of fun places to look around and eat. The boutique shopping was so amazing right in Laguna, and we also enjoyed Fashion Island and Southcoast Plaza.
All in all it was good for us to get away, but we were so ready to be home with the kids again. There will have to be a part two of this post to come later when I get pictures from the kids' time with their grandparents.

Oh yes, I could live here.
This was our beach friend, isn't he cute?
About to walk into town to check out the plentiful boutiques and eateries.
