A Kobe beef burger, a beer and a flick - that's our idea of a great date night. The beautifully-restored Regency Theatre in San Juan Capistrano has reopened and they've put a little twist on the typical night out. Guests at the Moroccan-style venue may enjoy the lastest feature film with standard movie theater fare (popcorn and raisinettes) or opt for a different type of night out. For a little

Pick up the November 2010 issue of Coastal Living Magazine (always one of our favorties!) and read why they consider San Clemente a "Dream Town". Could it be the 300+ sunny days a year, the world class surfing, the culture and history, or simply the great people who are our neighbors? To those wonderful friends and neighbors, we say "Thank You!" for making San Clemente so dreamy.

Christmas Eve at Casa Tropicana was absolutely majestic! Sue and I really wish you could have been here with us.
