Happiness is a day on a California beach, in late October, in 80 degree weather.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My family has been vacationing in Southern California all week. We’ve explored\u00a0Los Angeles <\/a>(Hollywood and Beverly Hills), Venice Beach, Anaheim and the desert area near Palm Springs. On Friday, we decided it was time to hit the ocean for a day in the surf and sand. We drove to the community of Laguna Beach (in Orange County), for a relaxing day of playing in the ocean. Laguna Beach is an artsy, laid back community\u2014just my kind of place.<\/p>\n

The beach was sparsely populated, a few surfers, \u00a0snorkelers and paddle boarders. The water was a little cool but easy to get used to. Once\u00a0school let out, a small crowd of children showed up with their boogie boards.<\/p>\n

We found many interesting shells, washed up on the beach. Wished we had brought snorkel equipment because I’m sure we’d have found many more great shells.<\/p>\n

Hope you enjoy the dramatic-style photo essay of our day!<\/p>\n
