Newport Beach, CA


James earned a trip to Newport Beach, California through work. The long hours and late nights he works finally paid off and we both got to take a much needed vacation! We left April 7th in the morning and returned Sunday, April 10th. My parents watched the kids.

On the trip we went to a mission and toured the grounds. It was beautiful and very informative. Then we went to a wine tasting. We were seated at a table with a plate of cheeses and breads then taught about different types of wines. It was a really interesting lesson.
This was inside the church at the mission, absolutely beautiful!
Our resort was on the hills of California overlooking the Pacific Ocean. James and I took a short walk down to the water front.
Since the kids were not with us I only had my Iphone to take pictures. Below is a picture of the resort taken from where we had breakfast. The pool is a perfect 360 degrees, though it was too cold for us to use while we were there. They actually were having a cold snap for our trip, the week before it was 80 degrees, when we got there it was windy and 50.
I could sit out and look at this view all day long. It was so very peaceful!
Our resort had a golf course, though James and I did not use it. We heard from many it was a great course.
We stayed in our own bungalow. I could have stayed on our deck all day, it blocked the wind and the sun hit it perfectly!
We had an amazing time, but were very excited to get back to our kids!
