The LaPrade Lifestyle

Ross and I went on our second vacation together (counting our honeymoon as our very first!) to Laguna Beach, California! We went to visit my mom and younger brother, Tyler. It was gorgeous weather and an amazing view down every street. Travel down the road to starbucks and you will see the mountains turn around and head the other direction to the beach! It was just breathtaking and we both truly enjoyed our vacation there! On the first day we went out to the beach for a few hours and it was perfect! Ross decided not to listen to his lovely wife and did not put on sunscreen....so he got a nice California burn! He was red for a few days then it began to get a little lighter now I have a semi-tan husband probably for about a week! On Sunday we went to Rick Warren's church which is set in the middle of the Saddle back mountains! The church had floor to ceiling windows on each side with an amazing view of the mountains! We then ventured to San Juan Capistrano which is a mission area in Laguna that has one of the oldest Catholic churches built in California! It is set up like the way it was when it was first built including the large bells and detailed paintings. The rest of the week we went to San Diego to the San Diego Zoo which was really neat and then L.A., Rodeo Drive, and Hollywood to see stars!

Here are some of my favorite pics from the trip!

Mom and I at The Grove and Farmers Market
where the stars shop and get local groceries!

Hugh Jackman was the most recent actor to put his hand and foot prints
at the Chinese Theater and it happened to be in April!
How neat is that!
