Exploring Balboa
On our second day, we drove over to Balboa Peninsula where we went stand-up paddle boarding (SUP). We rented the boards from Paddle Board Newport Beach through their Groupon offer.
Newport Coast – Views & Poolside
Believe me when I say Newport Coast is amazing because it really is. We spent our first day taking in all the sites and lounging by the pool.
In the North
After constantly changing plans, we finally headed up northern California to visit my aunt and her family. We only spent a good 24 hours but it was a fun trip!
From SB to Toruk
Drove up to Santa Barbara recently to meet up with one of my closest and dearest online friends, Corrin, whom I met through Livejournal years ago! So cool to finally meet an online friend in person!
The Cabin and the Lake
I had family visiting from Canada this summer so we went up to the mountains, got a cabin and enjoyed our weekend in silence and in the wilderness. Think Cabin in the Woods, minus the part where all fall to our deaths.
Of Kayaks and Paddles
Remember how I mentioned kayaking for Chris’ birthday? Well, this is the detailed entry of how that really went down! Kayaking is fun but then, it’s also not fun. *shrugs shoulders*
Birthday Boy
For Christopher’s 28th birthday, we decided to spend a few days up in Big Bear Lake, California. We went kayaking, ate some good burgers and enjoyed the sunshine that the city had to offer.
Solid as a Rock
For the long day weekend, my family and I packed up and headed over to Las Vegas. Instead of hitting the casinos, we decided to check out the nature that the city had to offer.
