ventured out of Anaheim and into the beautiful coastal communities of Laguna Beach and Huntington Beach. After being transported back in time to a 1930s resort during lunch at The Beachcomber at Crystal Cove, a retro beachside café in the Crystal Cove Historic District, we spent the after- noon combing the shops of downtown Laguna Beach. Then it was time to check in at the sprawling, 517-room
Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort & Spa. Everything about the resort is soaring and expansive — from the 20,000-square-foot Pacific Waters Spa to the oversized guest rooms and 110,000 square feet of meeting space designed to give groups ample room and seclusion. Finally, we ended the day in true California style, with a four-course dinner consisting almost entirely of local fare and California
wines in the AAA Four-Diamond Cali- fornian restaurant. Somehow, it seems, the O.C. always finds a way to shine even when the sun won’t.
