California Vacation Part Two

Friday Morning was a sad day. We woke up knowing we had to leave Disney. Thankfully the trip was nowhere near over. Instead we were heading for the beach. Those of you who know me well know that I am totally a summer loving hotter is better kinda girl so the thought of a beach with some sun was enough to make leaving Disney not so bad. Our first stop before heading to the beach that day, however, was IKEA. I know, I know... we went on vacation to California and we spent time shopping at IKEA... I have to be honest though... it is something I have always wanted to do, and besides the two year old who kept on asking where the beach was, I really did enjoy myself. I could honestly go back and spend an entire day in the store just looking. They had SO.MUCH.STUFF. After eating lunch at IKEA (yep they have a cafeteria) we loaded up and headed for our next desination: The Ritz Carlton on Dana Point. To say it was beautiful would be an understatement. It was fantastic. Upon arrival we immediately put our swimsuits on and headed for the sand. Of course, being the Pacific Ocean, the water was COLD, but we had a lot of fun playing  (or eating) in the sand. I tried my best to get good pics of the girls, but both were too busy to pay any attention to me trying to take their picture. Here's what I got though:

Needless to say, we had a good time... but all good things must come to an end... and when you stay someplace as nice as this, unfortunately it comes to an end all too soon.... No fears though... our vacation was not yet over... we were on to our next stop: San Diego!!!
Stay tuned for California Vacation Part Three!!!
