Lex & Christina had to get up super early to head back to Newport because Lex had a morning surgery to do. The rest of us slept in & took our time heading out of San Diego. On the way to Newport, we stopped in Dana Point for lunch with Glenn & Jan (and Tori...their dog). They were vacationing there for a week at their friends' house. It is right across the street from Salt Creek beach in a gorgeous gated community up on a hill overlooking the ocean. One of my favorite locations in CA!!! Salt Creek is my alltime favorite beach, so yes, I was jealous! They had made a great lunch and we got to hang out and visit with them for a while. VJ & Sarah hadn't seen them since last Thanksgiving so they enjoyed visiting with them.
After leaving Dana Point, we hit the PCH and headed north to Newport! We settled in at Christina's before getting ready for happy hour & dinner at K'ya. K'ya is Magicalness!!! It is actually a restaurant with a rooftop bar that is famous for sunsets. The restuarant is magic in itself though. Everything is "small plates" at happy hour "small prices". And the menu is simply delightful! A few favorites of the group: Lobster Ravioli, Lobster Mac & Cheese, Lobster Risotto (do you see a pattern here?!), empanadas, frito pie, lobster & crab pizza, salads...all kinds of deliciousness!!! Oh, not to mention the happy hour special mojitos as well :) We had to try every flavor....research. This is a place that goes on the "must-visit" list when in Laguna/Newport.
After dinner, we headed up to the rooftop patio to enjoy the gorgeous CA beach & sunset. We had some drinks, took some pics, took in the fresh ocean air.....heaven!
