Two Years Before the Mast: Dana Point
Today I will be sharing some images from our day trip (it’s only 10 minutes from home!) to Dana Point Harbor. We love to go to Dana Point to walk around the harbor and have breakfast, lunch or dinner. There are frequent art and craft booths set up and it’s great fun to look at…
