Jen's birthday this year was great. We got down to Dana Point without any traffic at all. We were making such good time that we decided to drive out Laguna Canyon and drive down PCH instead of the 5. So as we get into laguna we notice all the new stuff, the changes etc. We make our usual stop at the Pottery Shack, and find out that its closed permanently. There are guys using surveying equipment in the parking lot, so we figure thats the kiss of death. The building is honestly one of the most interesting in town, and it looks like it will be leveled. I'm just wondering what is going to happen to the Potter Shack Jade. In the front courtyard of the shack there is a HUGE piece of jade. Its honestly about 5 or 6 feet tall and a couple feet around. Its the largest semi precious stone i've ever seen, and its gotta be worth a lot.

Anyway, we headed to the harbor, checked into the hotel and ran down to John's Fish Market for fish and chips. Sat by the pool for a few hours with David and Bob, and then headed out to dinner.

We went to Splashes in Laguna (in the Surf and Sand Hotel). Jen read reviews of the place and everything said, the view was great, the food was great, but expect to wait. Well they nailed it. We got there an hour early to have a drink, and we ordered a appetizer. It didn't make it out to us by the pool, and we had it delivered to us at our table almost an hour later. That was the only problem. Anne and Darren joined us for Jen's birthday dinner, along with Bob and David. They put us on a small patio overlooking the ocean, and we had a great time. After dinner David got a little tired, so Bob and him headed back to the hotel, and Everybody else stayed to have a couple more drinks at the bar. We ended up having a great time and i'd like to thank Anne and Darren for hanging out with us.

Jen woke up today at the ass crack of dawn, and woke my ass up as well. We've eaten breakfast already, and now we're heading off to the beach. Pictures to come soon.
