Newport Beach


At the end of August (nearly a  month ago now) Travis, Claire and I decided on just a whim to take a trip to the beach. Since LA is only a 4hr drive from Vegas it was an easy trip. We ended up at Newport Beach and had a wonderful time. We stayed one night in a super cute hotel that offered all beach equipment to us for free (blankets, umbrellas, boogey boards, chairs, sand toys), they even had freshly baked warm chocolate chip cookies at 3pm. I knew we picked the right place after the cookies!!
Anyways, our hotel was just a block from the beach so we could easily walk there.  Our little family had a nice relaxing short trip away from everybody in the city!
view from the top of our hotel- see how close we are the beach!

Claire had so much fun running in the water and playing in the sand

we attempted to write her name in the sand, but as you can see she just kept picking up the sand and running all over her name!!
she kept filling the bucket with sand, then trying to lift it and carry it around- she is so silly :)

these teenagers behind us were laughing at her (they thought she was so cute, even took a pic with her) and claire was eating it all up!

we rode the ferry over to Balboa Island to do some sight seeing and shopping


Claire did not want to be in the stroller anymore- she took off down the boardwalk!
We ended up having an amazing time and I can't wait till we can go back again. Next time we are going to either bring our bikes or rent them and ride all over the place!
