lucky lady in laguna

What a magical day it truly was. The skies were blue without a cloud in sight. From the moment we started our journey on the open highway we knew it would be a day of wonder. We stopped in Laguna beach at the Montage. What an unbelievablely beautiful place. The ambiance of that place is like nothing I've ever experienced before in my life. People are relaxed and taking in the joys of life. The birds are singing lullabies to everyone who walks by. The palm trees dance in the ocean breeze. The dolphins...yes we saw dolphins...were playfully making themselves seen. The creativity of the artists painting a spectacular view of what was before their eyes made me smile. The laughter of children, the hand-holding of loved ones and the constant music of the waves added to the magic. The perspective of life changes when you're in this space. We ate lunch with a stunning view, walked along the cliff-lined coast and finished off our time at the Montage listening to a grand pianist while sipping iced tea. Glorious! We walked along the artisan streets of Laguna Beach and took in the most beautiful sunset! Looking out at the ocean really does make me think about the wonders of life. How big this world is and how very blessed I am to be having these experiences. Living this California dream. I had to pinch myself a few times today. How did i get here? This is one of my favorite things about travel. Getting a glimpse of life in a different place. Thinking about things that are beyond my imagination and more. Taking in the people, the sounds, the sights & the smells. Being curious about everything around me. I'm one lucky lady.
