Visiting the area, questions.
DH and I will be in Lake Forest for a week in July. He will be at work all week so that leaves me with a rental car and a lot of free time. Any suggestions on what I should fill it with? Any good restaurants and shops in the area? I like museums and the beach too. I'm willing to drive like an hour away to see stuff (will be making a trip to LA). But most of the time I want to stay locally around like Lake Forest, Laguna and Irvine. Any recommendations to anything would be appreciated. Thanks! Oh also is there any good nightlife in the area (not driving to LA)?

Re: Visiting the area, questions.
Huntington Pier
Downtown Disney (I think parking is $7, but no entry fee)
South Coast Plaza
Fashion Island
Bowers Museum of Cultural Art
Balboa Island, Newport Beach & Corona del Mar
Laguna Beach (there are a lot of galleries and cute restaurants)
Marukai Japanese Market in Costa Mesa
I second Laguna - it's close and has great restaurants, art galleries and a nice beach, albeit crowded. I also recommend heading to Costa Mesa for the Camp and the Lab, as well as he art distrct of Santa Ana and Old Town Orange

In Huntington Beach we have a farmer's market and arts and craft market every friday from noon till 7pm at the Pier. You could hit the beach and shop :-)
