Obviously my first choice of activity would be going to the beach. Laguna would have to be my favorite. It has a great clean beach and is in closer proximity to me. Newport and Huntington Beach are close by and great beaches but don’t add up to Laguna’s beauty.

Hiking is right there with beach days as one of my favorite activities to do. When you don’t have bricks in your backpack and are not carrying bags of sand throughout the hike, like we did in preseason - which was a “bootcamp” throughout Laguna area. One of my favorite hiking spots was introduced to me through this 12-hour hike we went on as a team, put on by a drill sergeant. Top of the World is a hiking area with many different level trails. Some easier ones my dog can handle, and there are some more difficult ones to get a nice little workout in.
