For Fall Break this year we headed to Newport Beach! This seems to become a family tradition we have started just the last two years. Newport October is the perfect time for a family vacation after Doug's busy summer of traveling. It seems to be a little more of a down time for him and so we like to take advantage. Kyle, Melis, Boyd and Niki had already been there for a week and were staying in the lower level of a beach house that was right on the board walk the previous week. We headed over the following week with the Nygrens and were soooo excited to hit the beach!! Luckily the upper level in the same beach house was available and we bunked up there with the Nygrens! It was a blast! The boys were in heaven spending 24 hours with their friends and cousins, never having to do their hair:), and pretty much living in their swimming suits! The house was right on the boardwalk....literally 3 feet from the beach. We could be sitting in the house and the kids playing in the sand right outside the door. It was perfect!! They would spend hours and hours searching for beach creatures, building sandcastles, jumping waves, and exploring the rocks! We ate a TON of donuts (and other food of course).....played hard on the beach....had bonfires...rode the ferry to Balboa....went on bike rides...and just relaxed! It is what I call a TRUE vacation and total family time! We decided not to venture to Disneyland this year(it is only 20 minutes away), but that is the nice thing about going each year, sometimes we may want to and other times we won't! It's just nice to be able to not really plan anything and just wing it. No itinerary...just some true R&R!! We cannot wait to go back next Fall break!!
