Easter Egg Hunting is coming up and with that in mind, here's a few local 'hunt's happening around town. Also, in celebration of spring, The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel introduces four incredible, non-edible Easter eggs, each individually painted by a local artist including Trevor Mezak, James Galindo, Robin Hiers, and Kym de los Reyes. The enormous hand crafted eggs are a “must see” and make the perfect backdrop for a springtime family portrait. Guests are invited to hop on over to the resort to see these brightly decorated eggs, which will be on display at the entrance of the resort from Saturday, April 1 through Sunday, April 23, 2017.
