Newport Beach Vacation

Brooklyn & Grandma enjoying a Star Fish caught that morning on the Beach.
We put him back in the ocean---but we enjoyed our visit with him!
On Thursday we had a big Thanksgiving Dinner with Turkey, Dressing, Sweet Potato Pie, Garlic toast, Mashed Potatoes/Gravy, Cherry Pie Al la Mode. It was a fun feast and everyone shared a personal parable of our Beach Experience to life and how much Our Heavenly Father loves us.

After walking along Crystal Cove Beach, we met Steve & Suzie for lunch @ the Date Shack.
Kiley & Jeff's last bike ride of many. This seemed to be one of everyone's favorite things to do
We could ride down to Balboa & Newport Piers or up to Huntington Pier.
Pretty good bike rides but so enjoyable with the warm sun and cool breeze.
The Boardwalks were so fun too, with all the fun beach houses to look at on one side and the ocean waves on the other side!
The Beach House we stayed in is behind them.
Captain Mike steering the sail boat around Redondo Beach.
We went about 5 miles in two hours.
We learned that sailing is for those with stout and strong stomachs!
Boarding the 30 Foot sailboat with smiles!
Will grew up sailing with his family--He was so excited for us to experience sailing!
