Touring the Southern California Beaches With Karen, Julia and Elizabeth

 I had such a great time touring So Cal beaches with my friend Karen (my sister in law Mary's sister) and her 18 year old daughter Julia and her fellow high school graduate and bff Elizabeth. All from Ohio and the first time to California for Karen and Julia. We drove to Laguna Beach my absolute favorite beach in California (Sawdust Festival first then strolling the beach) and then north on Pacific Coast Highway in this order Laguna, Crystal Cove, Corona Del Mar, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Bolsa Chica, Sunset, Seal beach (Main Street) . Picked up Mike at 6:00 and took them for a tour of our city of Long Beach including view from atop Signal Hill, 2nd Street Belmont Shore and a walk around the Naples Canals at Sunset. All the best to Julia and Elizabeth as they head off to college in the next two weeks! Karen, Julia, Elizabeth it was so much fun to be with you three! Best summer treat for me to be with you. Mary Cabot we wished you were with us!

 
 Tip: Park in lot 16 on Laguna Canyon Road and take the Trolley to the Festival.
