Before I whisk you off to Laguna Beach, I’d like to remember the view from my hotel room on the 21^st floor and my tiny bit of aimless wandering that I did before Erin arrived.

I was up very early in the morning because of the time change. I had some time to enjoy a cloudy sunrise.

My hotel room faced an easterly direction.

I was still amazed by the giant advertisements.

I didn’t eat at either of these places (again due to the line out the door), but I heard that the Pantry was fantastic.

And then I went to pick up Erin.
