First 2023 Beach Trip

One of my friends and I went to Newport Beach to see some family and friends. We had such a good time. The beach views were pretty incredible. A short trip quickly turned into a weekend getaway. We got to go to the Huntington Beach street fair and walk around the beach town. We also were invited by friends to go see a Pink Floyd 360 dome show in LA.

It was a bit chilly on the beach, but it was just beautiful. During the cloudy day, the sun shown through here and there occasionally which was stunning. We went pretty early in the day, so it was like our own private beach. It was such a luxurious feeling.

Exploring the beach towns and driving to Huntington was fun. I love looking at all the architecture on all the beach homes. Some are full of character, some are very modern, they all have their own charm.

I’m not usually a city person, but I did enjoy my time visiting LA. We went to a mall and enjoyed the variety of options provided by the bigger city. Our friends found a cool restaurant near the venue. The food was delicious and everyone seemed to enjoy their drinks.

Before the event, we experienced a meditative sound bath. I put on noise canceling headphones and leaned my back against a pad that vibrated with the music. It was such an incredible experience! It was one of the deepest meditations I had experienced in quite a while. When I came out of my meditation, my friends had told me it had been about half an hour. It seemed like maybe a few minutes. The dome experience was also really cool. Being fully immersed in the dome made it seem like I was moving along with the visuals. It was so cool!

I am so grateful for my friends and amazing experiences!
