Newport Beach...
girls road trip with Caron and Michelle...stayed at Caron's beach house...was so nice to be steps away from the beach
We drove inland to Riverside for Moxa's wedding, the reason for the roadtrip...spent the day at the spa beforehand since the wedding didn't start until 3pm. The Mission Inn is truly a gem in Riverside, so beautiful! Had no idea it was there all this time we had visited and even lived in Riverside for a short while. Will definitely be taking Jay and the kids back!
second champagne and chocolate...doesn't get better than that :)
after the massages, experienced a spa bath for the first time
which was a soak in coconut aromas with a plate of fruit and chocolates...was truly spoiled there by Caron...spa day was her Christmas gift to me and Michelle :)
went all out and thought it would be funny to take this picture of myself :) I know, scary!
ready and anxious for the wedding...courtyard was so nice and the weather was perfect!
the groom waiting in his room
beautiful shot of the bride
my favorite part, watching the bride walk down the isle...loved, loved her dress, so beautiful and different with the big flowers all around!
church was intimate and amazing!
the newlyweds!!!
with the zappos gang
seriously the sweetest first dance I had every seen!
cake surrounded by the paper flower favors...again everything was so sweet and intimate
the life of the party right here...Moxa's brother taught us how to dance, like foreal waltzy dance...was so much fun! Every song was picked by the groom.
group hug with the new couple...Congratulations Moxa and Pato! Such an exciting day for the wolfpack :)
before leaving, we went to the top to see the circle staircase...this place is amazing for picture taking, they have the best wedding photos. I highly recommend taking a visit here for dinner, spa or even just to look around...the lights at night are so pretty!
spent the rest of the weekend walking on the beach, shopping and eating
yummy donuts on the beach! went 2 of the 3 mornings
the other was Plum's for their deep dish pancake...was yummy, tasted like a crepe and was especially good with extra lemon and powered sugar on each bite :)
lunch at TK burger was good, right up there with Shake Shack, better than Five Guys and Smashburger...their fry salt was very good!dinner in Laguna Beach...Las Brisas restaurant on top of the hill overlooking the beachThanks ladies for a lovely girls weekend!!! Beach, yummy food, good shopping, one of the best weddings, perfect weather, spa day...how could it not be a relaxing, beautiful weekend!
