And Saturday...

Wow, I am starting to get tired just writing about the weekend! Originally I planned to head to Laguna on Saturday morning but our dinner wasn't too late and it made more sense to miss the traffic and head down on Fri eve. So that is what I did...

I was visiting with the multi-talented filmista, fashionista, designer, writer and blogger Mary Jo Matsumoto of Trustyourstyle.com. This was my first trip to Laguna and MJ was a great tour guide.
We started off with a yummy Al fresco brunch at Sapphire. We sat on the deck and looked out West towards the water, drank lots of coffee and ate a huge meal to give us lots of energy for our day. Post meal we cruised the shops and galleries, walked and shopped, walked and shopped; memorable stops include Lala and The Surf Gallery.

I feel I am slacking on the pretty pictures, so this is a painting by the artist Alex Weinstein. His exhibit is no longer showing, currently it's a show by a handful of Roxy artists - definitely worth checking. And be sure to stop in the shop directly south of the gallery, can't remember the name. This clothing/surf shop has a great selection of tops and pants for guys/gals. We walked for hours in town. Then we were shopped out so we hit Salt Creek beach. We took a nice walk in the sand and surf. By now we were getting thirsty and hit The Coyote Grill for some damn tasty margs and mexi dinner. After all the sun, shopping, walking and cocktails we were beat!
