Ahh, Laguna Beach!
The place where I just wanted to drop everything, move to and become a california gurl.
Alas, this was not possible so I made the most of the two days I spent there!
The first stop was passing through on our journey to San Diego, so I didn't get to look around as much as I wanted too!
As well as admiring the beautiful views in these shots, I was also admiring the spectacular mullet & visor combo a woman was sporting at the next table along. It was Fabulous Californian Frizz!
I had the best chicken caesar salad at Hotel Laguna, on Laguna Avenue (I think it was there is google maps serves me well...)
After lunch our feet touched the cali sand for the first time.
On our second visit we stocked up on fresh fruit, sushi and the most to die for cookies from Whole Foods and enjoyed the sunshine and the beach.
We buried the boys in the sand, we played catch, we swam in the sea, we jumped over waves and we dined like kings.
Like father, like son...
Mango sorbet on my new hot pink 'Laguna Beach, Cali' towel.
People are so friendly in the US. I had to carry 4 ice creams back from the street to the beach so they gave me pots & a box to carry the cones in. Two ladies who were waiting to cross the road at the same time as me started chatting to me as they found my 'ice creams with hats' amusing. No one feels afraid to just chat, there's a really friendly amosphere.
Laguna Beach lifeguard anyone? ;)
Next Up: Denver, Colorado, yeee-hah!

Last Summer I went on the holiday of a lifetime, that I will never ever forget.
I went on a road trip around the west coast of America with my dad, step mum and two little brothers.
It's exactly a year since I went, so I thought it'd be the perfect time to write about it!
It was such an amazing experience that I wanted to document it on my blog as a little throwback, so I'll start with flights to LAX!
Unfortunately I think I may have lost all the photos I took on my phone during the holiday, I'm still trying to see if I can retrieve them from my hard drive. I can't tell you how much this upsets me, photos are so important to me, but luckily I had two cameras with me, so took hundreds on them and my family all took photos too!
I was pretty happy and impressed with my champagne in premium economy.
Don't know about you but I love plane food. It's food that has it's own compartments and lids. so great.
Annoyingly there was a fault with the in flight entertainment for the first two hours, but they eventually got it working. About 5 hours in the screens cut out again, the whole cabin shouted 'Nooo!' which was highly amusing and bonded us with the strangers for a few minutes whilst we all laughed.
We touched down in LA! We headed straight for our hotel for the night to get some food and to flop on to freshly made beds! Ethan found some gummy american sweets & his 'bed' in the wardrobe pretty quickly...
We were all up and wide awake at 4am due to the time zone difference.
But then we were ready and raring to go for our drive to San Diego.
Especially this one, all kitted out for the journey!
We stopped in Laguna Beach on the way, which I would of included in this post, but seeing as i absolutely fell in love with Laguna Beach it deserves a blog post of it's own!
Disclaimer: Prepare yourself for a lot of photos of my little brother, Ethan. I just can't taken enough photos of that little man!

Pre-holiday selfie: done. In the taxi ready to go with the boys!
Grumpy little one sulked in the hot tunnel to board the plan, but looked pretty cool taking after his big bro with the band tee and the bum bag.
