re: Dana Point w/ kids

I used to live in San Clemente around 5 years ago. DP is fantastic. Things to do: dana point harbor baby beach/stand up paddle boards, go to ritz laguna and get sunsey drinks at 180 blu (awesome views), go to pizza port san clemente (great beers), go to nicks in San clemente or laguna (no corkage on first bottle per 2 people), go to Las ramblas hike, check out happa j's hawaiian and or order the man fries (pork loaded cheese fries).

I'm the broader socal area, visit the zoo safari park in north county, visit some breweries (belching beaver/ballast point are good times), visit the aircraft carrier museum in San diego, check out Crystal cove shake shack for an absurd view and decent milkshake/burger, and do plenty of stuff outside.
