We went to the Laguna Cliffs Resort overlooking the Dana Point Harbor. We had never seen the hotel before, but it turned out to be perfect - very peaceful, quiet (except for movie night at the local park), and VERY kid friendly. There was a park right next door where there was tons of space for Garrett to run around - and a really clean, super cool playground. The park attracted lots of visitors - tons of people working out and lots of early morning yoga classes.
The first day was a little rough - Garrett was in a bit of a mood, so we didn't do a whole heck of a lot - we walked (A LONG WAY THERE) to Dana Point Harbor and had lunch at the Harbor Grill. The walk back was A LOT easier because we just crossed the street and went up a huge set of stairs that took us right into the park adjacent of the Resort.
Saturday was much better - the Marine Rescue/Rehab Facility, Ocean Institute, and swimming at the Resort.
We saw the seals being cared for (and we saw them being fed) before they are released back into the ocean . . .
We went through the Ocean Institute and the beach/tidepools . . .
And we enjoyed the better weather (and mood) by taking advantage of the splash pad and kid's pool (while Brady crawled all over the grass) . . .
Sunday we ate another great breakfast buffet and then hit the beach.
After checking out we got yummy food to go and hit another beach on the way home - with a playground to boot.
Fun to be had by all - another successful family adventure!
