Laguna Beach #68
The benefit of heading to Laguna Beach a second time is that we knew exactly where to go. I was worried that it would be hard to get a picture of both us and Pacific Realm since it is on the ceiling but that turned out not to be too hard. Like all of the …
San Diego #64
After chasing down pictures of yachts we knew the next wall would be easier to find and take a picture of since it would not be moving. We just saw it a little earlier than expected. We started Father’s day with a Segway tour of San Diego which was a ton of fun. While on …
