Amber & Art
Things To Do
Mission San Juan Capistrano
Amber grew up in San Juan Capistrano, so going to the Mission and surrounding shops in Downtown SJC were regular excursions.
Disneyland Resort
If you have a free day and have not been to Disneyland, feel free to take the day and explore the place where Art and Amber met, worked, and played!
Dana Point Harbor
See the beautiful Harbor where Amber spent most of her time growing up on the water with her Dad. (Make sure you visit the Scoop Deck or Coffee Importers for some Ice Cream!)
The Pike Outlets
Go explore one of the places that Art and Amber spend their weekends (usually catching a movie and then taking a stroll on the water!)
Aquarium of the Pacific
Who doesn't love a beautiful aquarium? If you're in Long Beach (where Art and Amber live and just a 40 minute drive north of San Juan Capistrano), make sure to visit this beautiful aquarium and pet the sharks!
Balboa Fun Zone
Great for kids of all ages! Take a ride on the ferris wheel, jump on the ferry, or just explore the beautiful little beaches of Balboa.
Laguna Beach
If you are looking for beautiful beaches (even though it's November), Laguna is a beautiful one with a lot of eclectic shops.
Corona Del Mar
If you want a little more secluded beach experience, go explore the coves of Corona Del Mar!
Shops At Mission Viejo
Did your pants get lost on your flight? Did you spill red wine on your only button up shirt? Are you still not sure what you are going to wear to our wedding? No problem, just a few exits away is a lovely Shopping Center where I'm sure you find something great!
Fashion Island
Feeling Bougie? Go here, you'll fit right in!
Cafe Ambrosia
One of our favorite lunch spots in Long Beach!
MVP's Grill & Patio
Amber's order: The Ditka on Squa Bread Art's order: Mean Joe Green Splt the Half order of Cajun fries (trust us, it's enough!)
Universal Studios Hollywood
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Hollywood is a MUST!
Catalina Island
Perfect for a day trip! You can catch one of the big boats that travel back and forth to Catalina Island (Avalon) every day for a pretty affordable price from either Dana Point Harbor or the Port of Long Beach. It's a great little city to go rent a golf cart and explore (yep, golf carts are the primary form of transport on the island!) You can also book tours that take you exploring all over the island or explore on your own! You can go hiking, drive to see the buffalo who live on the island, go snorkeling, take a trip in a glass bottom boat or "submarine", or just relax on the beach!
