Home Sweet Home

Ahhh, I can still hear the sound of the ocean's waves. What a wonderful week we had in Newport Beach, CA and how sad I am to be home right now, back to the grind of every day life. We had the privilege of joining my parents at their timeshare in Newport this past week. It was such a great vacation. Allie and I drove up with my parents last Saturday, Matt joined us on Wednesday and then we all drove home today. Here's (almost) all that we did...

spent two days at Laguna Beach playing in the sand and sun
went to the 43rd Annual Sand Castle Building Contest (which actually wasn't as impressive as we thought it would be but still fun to see)
went to Sea World which Allie LOVED
had dinner with two of Matt's good friends from Merrill Lynch who moved to SD recently
also had dinner with Matt's cousin and his new wife who live in Newport
my dad drove to LA to pick up Matt since he accidentally booked his plane ticket for LAX instead of Orange County Airport (and didn't realize it until the plane landed!)
drank Pina Coladas by the pool
shopped
ate yummy food
went for walks
read THREE books (my favorite thing to do on vacation!)
and best of all, RELAXED and enjoyed the PERFECT weather all week!

I have tons of pictures and a really funny video to share but I have no energy to download and post right now. After the 9 hours it took for us to get home today (yes, NINE hours!), I'm pooped. More on our fun vacation to come!
