First Wedding of 2009!

We flew down to Orange County for Greg's second cousin's wedding and had the most awesome sun-filled weekend! The wedding was on Friday night and we got down there around 1pm. Our vacation started with a light lunch outside at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach, which was where the wedding was held at and where we were staying. The weather was just PERFECT, nothing but sunshine and not hot at all. The reception was beautiful too and the dinner was laid out buffet-style with lots of different stations displaying everything from sushi to steak! It was amazing just how much food there was and the open bar was awesome of course! :)

Saturday was filled with relaxation starting with brunch on the beach, then tanning by the pool, and ended with a yummy Asian-inspired dinner. We had an afternoon flight home on Sunday and decided to have 1 last awesome meal before taking off. Here we are in front of the beautiful Laguna Beach ocean! What a good looking family huh?

Our Sunday brunch was AMAZING! It was at a Mexican restaurant called La Brisa and I'm sure the pictures below are worth a thousand words! For $33, you literally get a FEAST! It's a 4-course brunch starting with fruit, then your choice of soup or salad, then a super yummy entree and ends with a piece of CARROT CAKE! Everything was yummy from start to finish and the Champagne NEVER stopped flowing! I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a yummy brunch you can linger over all morning. (And probably not eat again until late at night!) Here are Greg and my entrees: Sand Dabs Puerto Nuevo and Ensalada Laguna. (It took us a while to try and figure out what Sand Dabs were and we finally had to ask the waiter. Apparently, they're just a type of white fish, in case anyone else was wondering.)
