I like to think of it as a little piece of Heaven

I can only hope that Heaven can be a little bit like Newport Beach, California!

This has to be one of my all time favorite places...

What can be better then...

the warm sun shinning all day,

family,

food,

sand in between your toes,

tan lines,

laughter,

giant Diet Cokes from 7-11,

people watching, (and believe me, you see it ALL along the boardwalk)

the smell of salty water with a cool breeze,

bed time at 7 for the kids due to all the playing,

the dress code, (oh wait, there isn't one. Bear piggies are ok in stores)

AND the lose of all sense of time,

See why I can only hope that Heaven is even a little piece of Heaven!

Some of my favorite things to do while in Newport Beach...
1. Cassie figured out this year that the "mermaid" is topless.

2. My kiddos happy

3. my daily breakfast of 2 donuts and 52 oz. of Diet Coke

(hence why I am sure I gained back 3 lbs. from this trip, but I can tell you, so worth it!)
4. People Watching and seeing the different street vendors along the boardwalk

(this guy painted with cans of spray paint)
5. I wish I had a boat like these off my personal dock in the harbor

6. being barefoot in the sand.

***One thing I could live without is the sirens!***

They are non-stop there. In fact, I wonder how will I be able to sleep again with the sounds of the 24 hour police sirens.

I {Heart} Newport Beach, California!
