Having lived in small towns most of my life, I have always enjoyed visiting other small towns that happen to have a reputation of being an artist’s colony, or artist’s village. Part of that enjoyment comes from the fact that I love to work with my hands and create things, through decorative painting, or with fabric, yarn, or some other materials like duct tape. Not exactly high-brow mind you, but the point is that I love to see the things that other people can create with their own hands. I truly do appreciate, in the fullest extent, how much time, and energy, and soul goes into the hand-crafted creations.
So when Janice invited me to come out to visit her in California I started to do some research about the area that she lives in, and found that Laguna Beach is a place that has a reputation of being an artist’s haven of sorts. Looking at photographs of the Laguna Beach websites, I get the feeling that it would be a very romantic spot to spend a week or two with my hubby if we wanted to throw together a second honeymoon, too. Janice is working on getting some competitive quotes on the prices of a two-week laguna beach vacation rental to see if that is something we will be able to swing this year, or if we are going to have to start saving our pennies to try to take the trip next year. I’d like to go this year, but I’m afraid that there are some health issues that may prevent us from traveling this year, so I won’t be too upset if we have to put it off one year.
