The last weekend of June was supposed to be the hottest, everyone was talking about how hot and crazy it was going to be...people leaving town...we were so indecisive since the 4th of July holiday weekend was around the corner...Jay decided we'd take off early Sat morning while it's somewhat cool out as we don't want to be driving in the desert in the scary heat...so we left at 6am and went straight to the beach...went to a one we haven't been to Crystal Cove state park
we had to go through the tunnel to get there which at first looks pretty cool, but pretty gross on your way back when water gets in there
was a nice beach just crowded and very seaweedy
big waves that day
we stayed the night at a different place than our usual Doubletree at the Irvine Spectrum, checked out the Marriot and while not as close to the spectrum was nice to have a different pool that was half indoor
to
get the most out of our time, usually get the kids up at least for
enough time to swim and shower before we have to checkout at noon
was nice to lounge and enjoy SoCal weather
Jay didn't want to head home til evening because of the hot weather ahead so he took us up north to try the LA location of DC Cupcakes :)
not like being in the original location, but similar feel :)
same set up
same art...they have a secret cupcake flavor of the day which they only make 100 of which we missed in DC, but this time we made it
it was chocolate covered strawberry the one with the DC logo which was okay, I preferred the regular strawberry cupcake with the pink frosting
she was made for this place :)
great weekend, while it seems short staying the one night, because we take advantage of the 2 full days it seems longer than it really is, we trip out sometimes on how short but how long it feels...nice to have a daddy that doesn't mind driving and likes to take off whenever...and as he says we ball on a budget :)
