Departing from Orange: 10:08AM
Arrive at San Clemente Pier: 10:56AM
David and I decided to take our train ride to the San Clemente Pier!
{David IS really excited, therefore I got to cross this off my list!}
We love the beach and spending a relaxing day strolling around a new city and here we got the best of both worlds. Once getting to the pier we realized we had actually been to this part of the San Clemente beach about two years ago for Valentines Day. David had brought me there and we had a picnic on the beach and watched the sunset, so it was a nice return! What we hadn't done on that day was walk on the pier or go through the town shops, so it was nice to take this time to capture that aspect of the city!

We had a blast! Both of us were feeling a little under the weather but we still wanted to spend this day as planned. Once we got to San Clemente we went straight up to Del Mar and searched out a place to get breakfast, our favorite meal of the day! We found a very swanky looking restaurant that was actually exactly what we were looking for! David ordered a classic breakfast meal - hash browns, scrambled eggs, wheat toast and a Coke :). I had a delicious omelet with bacon and avocado and a side of hash browns. These meals hit the spot and begun our day pretty satisfyingly.
After breakfast we continued our journey up Del Mar and hit almost every store. Each was very unique in its own way and had a very interesting touch to the city. We walked up and down Del Mar and returned to the beach to walk on the pier. It was freezing! But we enjoyed watching the waves crash and the surfers in the distance. Although it was incredibly cold, I still wanted ice cream and knew there was a little shop across from the beach. We made our way there and I got a chocolate cone and David sipped on his hot chocolate. Just before heading to the train stop, we grabbed some pizza and a shot glass to add to the collection.
We had such a good time just sitting with each other and laughing, it was just what we needed!
The ONE and only downer we had was that Metro Link changed their schedule and hadn't updated their online listing of departures, so instead of leaving at 3:09 like we expected.... our schedule ran a little later
Departing from San Clemente Pier: 4:49PM
Arrive in Orange: 5:35PM
