Description
  Join Daytripping as we return to Laguna Beach California for the Annual Festival of the Arts Pageant of the Masters - Where Art Comes To Life. Some of the most glorious art ever created has eloquently expressed the singular joys of being alive. With its surefire recipe for theatrical fun and unforgettable "living art," the 2010 Pageant promises a memorable feast for the senses. We will stay three nights in Huntington Beach at the 4 Diamond Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort where every room is overlooking the pristine white sand beaches of the Pacific Ocean. In addition to the main event - The Pageant - we will tour Laguna Beach, ride in a gondola along the canals of Huntington Harbor and Sunset Beach and attend a play at the famous Laguna Beach Playhouse. As a special treat this year we will enjoy an exclusive lunch with Pageant of the Masters Executive Director, and a private tour of the Pageant. We will dine at the scrumptious Beach House Laguna Beach as well as Tivoli Terrace and Dukes of Huntington Beach. Join us on this ultimate summertime getaway.
