On a whim we decided to drive up the PCH from Laguna on Saturday. We didn't have any plans and we thought it might be a fun way to see some of California we hadn't been to yet. We were down in Laguna because we had to pick up Zoey from Aunt Janell's. Janell had been watching Zoey while we were out of town for the week (Janell totally spoiled Zoey) at Mike's dad's funeral. It had been an exhausting week and we just needed some nice relaxing time. Driving up the beach was the best! It was a great way to get Mike's mind off the previous week and also reminded us why we moved to California.
We started the day at our favorite dog-friendly, Laguna Beach restaurant: Madison Square Garden Cafe. They have great food and the owner loves dogs. Zoey likes going there because she gets the hook up on treats!
After lunch we headed north and ran across a dog park beach in Huntington Beach. We think we actually saw Zoey smile here! It was great and we can't wait to go back. I'm sure on the drive Zoey will stick her head out of the sunroof multiple times, as she really loved doing that on the drive!
We ran across a unusual chapel on our drive called Wayforth Chapel. It's this glass chapel on a hill overlooking the ocean. We could only visit for about 10 minutes because they were about to close it for a wedding, but we definitely want to go back. You can go there for meditation and they also have special ceremonies for Christmas and Easter. If we weren't married, this is where I'd do it.
Sometimes it's best to just take some time out and relax...enjoy every moment and not rush through life. It's kind of like that saying...stop and smell the roses :)

I'm glad you guys had a chance to unwind and enjoy the beautiful beaches after the long, not fun week you just endured. It's good to see a smile on Mike's face!
What a great day! Your puppy is so lucky to have such fun parents!
