Newport Beach

On Monday night, after Rob got home from work, we took the family to Newport Beach. This is Ciel’s first visit to the ocean (not counting Guam where she was born). Everyone had lots of fun chasing the waves and collecting seashells. We’re so lucky to live close to the beach (only a 15 minute drive away). I’m not sure how often we’ll go, though, since we’re still working on getting the sand out of everything! For more pictures of our beach adventure with Ciel, check out our gallery.

    So much fun. I keep forgetting that Ciel is in California. Hope you are having tons of fun, Ciel!

    I am so glad she is having such a fun time with her cousins! And that beach looks gorgeous, what a great time! Thanks for having Ciel to visit, I’m so happy she got to go and hang out with her fun cousins, Aunt and Uncle!

    I love the gallery pictures of your visit. Can I send you $ for some copies? I am still sad that I didn’t bring my camera.

    How lucky to live 15 minutes from the beach!! I would be there all the time. Your kids are growing up so much. I can’t believe it. Time flies.
