Laguna Beach is my Happy Place + Checking in Capri Laguna

The first of my California Series----

Day One:

I never thought of Laguna Beach as anything other than that show on MTV about a group of teenagers whose lives were full of drama and yet admittedly it was one of my guilty pleasures. As I was planning my California itinerary, I wanted to visit one of their famous beaches. My choices were between Palm Springs or Laguna Beach. I ended up choosing the latter and it was the best decision I made. Laguna Beach was a dream! I couldn't help but smile the entire time while I was there because I was so happy. I even thought to myself, "I could totally live here!"

We checked-in at Capri Laguna for the weekend. It was right in front of the beach and walking distance from the best restaurants and small quaint shops.

They had a vegan cafe just a couple of blocks from the hotel. Jacob and I loved our healthy bowls. It was made of avocado, curry sauce, quinoa and topped with a poached egg

Dinner at Mozambique

We spent the day getting lost in the town. It's really small- it will take you just an hour by car to reach from start to end but it was filled with so much character. They believe in energies. You will see a lot of stores that sell crystals and do tarot reading.

Laguna Beach also has the most breathtaking sunsets. Just take a look at our view during dinner.

Day Two:

Rise and shine, it's a new day! We started our day with the most important meal breakfast. Capri Laguna had a Starbucks vending machine in the lobby. Of course- me being obsessed with coffee, I abused it just a little bit. I made three cups of coffee which left me feeling extra energetic the entire day.

Pool in the hotel

I love the turquoise and white motif of the hotel

Day Three:

On our last day, we headed to Oak to get brunch and sip on cocktails. Oak was one of the recommended restaurants on Visit Laguna's website. This was a helpful guide to maximize our short stay. You can see the reviews of the hotels, things to do, how to get around, and where to eat.

Look at my smile! If you haven't visited Laguna Beach, you're missing out. I highly recommend going here if you're in the California area.
