Cindy and I recently spent 3 nights in Laguna Beach for the Pageant of the Masters. We stayed at an Airbnb that was very close to the downtown area, the free trolley, and the beach. This was our third stay in an Airbnb and so far, all three have been very nice.
On the way to our room, we stopped at B. Candy in Corona Del Mar. It is a cool little candy store that also has home made ice cream. Not wanting to be rude, I had to try some of the ice cream. It was very good.
The first night we had dinner at “Bandera” in Corona Del Mar. The food was outstanding and we both highly recommend it.
The next day was Monday and we had lunch on the beach at Las Brisas. The food was good and the views were amazing.
We walked around, but not too much since I was still nursing my right knee from surgery. We have also “upped our selfie game,” at least according to our daughter.
Here are a few pictures from our beach wanderings.
Monday night, we attended the Pageant of the Masters. Prior to the show, we had dinner at “The Cliff” restaurant, perched on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Once again, the food was good, but the views were fantastic.
On the way out, I used the public restroom and came across an interesting sign.
We arrived at the pageant early and browsed the art show, then entered the theatre. Cindy purchased some great seats; we were only 6 rows from the stage.
If you have never seen the show before, it is hard to describe. Basically, there are huge pictures of art either on the main stage, or on one of the smaller side stages. All of the pictures have live people in them, only the people are made up and they are lit in such a way that they appear to be part of the picture. It is often very difficult to tell what is picture and what is person. This is one of the best shows I have ever seen. I highly recommend seeing this sometime in your life, the sooner the better.
On Tuesday, we relaxed, walked around a bit, rode the free trolley, and checked out Laguna Beach. Wednesday we returned home.
Our next trip will be an overnighter to Los Angeles where we will attend the Eagles concert at the Fabulous Forum. This will be Cindy’s first concert! In October we will go to Glendale, Arizona, to watch our daughter Corrianne graduate from Grand Canyon University with her Master’s degree. We couldn’t be prouder. That trip will either be preceded by or followed by a trip to Montana to visit Aunt Barbara. So far, no trips are planned for November or December yet, but we still have plenty of time to plan something.
