Sissy, the 4 Boys, & the Fairy Grandparents Visit Disneyland

[djmeredith]

Awww! You tried so hard to plan everything, too! That was so cool and convenient that your condo was so well stocked!

I'm a local and I have never been to Dana Point (although I've gone to other beaches). Your beach trip itself was so short but you could never tell by looking at that last photo! Everyone really looked so happy.

That's great that your family was able to add another day of tickets. Can't wait to hear what you thought of WOC.

Despite the extremely short visit to the beach, we did manage to have some fun while we were there. Dana Point was really nice and I think on a normal day, when the surf isn't so rough, it would be a very enjoyable beach. My dad was talking to a local woman while we were there and she said she had never seen so many lifeguards out there before; so apparently we just happened to go on a very unusual day. I figure if there's a Ritz Carlton there, the beach is probably pretty nice most of the time. Of course, the surfers were loving it! It was cool to watch them. One nice thing I liked (and maybe this is normal for SoCal beaches) but there were signs dividing the area into a surf area and a body board area. That seemed to be a good idea for obvious safety reasons.
