Welcome to the OC, b*tch!

Spent a few gorgeous days in Laguna Beach that lined up with an October heatwave so we were able to squeeze the last drops out of summer ‘26. Jim was busy with work retreat activities so I spent most of the time as a solo tourist, scouting the best food and sights to share with him during the evening off-hours.

A perfect re-fuel of the spirit.
