RE: Show Us Your California Contest - Week 2 /@tryskele edition
I served a Spanish-speaking church mission in Orange County. After the two years were up, I came home to Oregon and then went back. By the time I returned to Oregon for the second time, I was married with two young sons.
Maybe you know all that already. I don't remember who I've told. :)
At any rate, we lived in Santa Ana and the city of Orange when we were married. Before that, I lived in Laguna Niguel and worked there. Laguna Beach has a special significance for us because that's where we decided we would get married. (It was less a proposal as it was a conversation mutually agreed upon :)
Dana Point and San Clemente are both cool places to visit, along with Huntington Beach. Lots of fond memories. Just very expensive to live there.
Congratulations again on the Show Us Your California contest award.
You sound like me. I've been to all of those. Many many more stories and memories from each of those locations. My ex-husband and I took our 'engagement pictures at Laguna Beach. The cove down from the staircase. I don't know that's still there. I think my daughter told me they closed it because it wasn't safe anymore. LOL like it was ever safe.
Thank you very much @glenalbrethsen
We were down there around this time last year (was probably a week or so before Thanksgiving. I didn't recognize any of it. :) We were trying to get back to the main beach, but ended up somewhere else entirely. I guess I should have paid more attention to where we were 30 years ago. :)
My wife still has family down there, so I'm sure we'll make another run at it.
