The start of the California trip.

Greg and I drove down to California two days earlier

than the rest of my family who was coming so we could have

some time together.

 My kind and brave mother flew out with Lydia with the rest of

my family as well so we were childless!

We had so much darn fun.

We immediately headed to Newport beach the first night there for dinner and sight seeing.

I found a restuarant online that looked cheap for a sit down place

and served mexican food, our favorite, right on the beach.

Little did we know it was a bar and a huge hit with the single people of the area.

Even though we were the only ones in the bar not drinking,

married, and actually eating dinner,

we had a fantastic time.

Everybody was taking pictures with their friends in the bar so we had to take one too.

Aren't we wild?!

Greg then took me to Pinkberry.

It was yummy, but I don't know what all the fuss is about my friends.

The next day we went boogie boarding for half the day at Newport Beach.

The waves were really big and they kind of kicked my butt into 

the sand a few times which ended with me gasping for air and having sand

by the buckets full in my hair.

I wish I could have had my camera with me to show how big these waves

were that Greg would get on, but I was much too afraid it would get stolen

while we were both in the ocean.

The day my family came in Greg and I drove around the coast and stopped at 

beautiful lookout at Laguna Beach for a quick picture before we were rained on.

Our quick California getaway had romance, adventure, and beautiful sights.

What more could you ask for?
