It’s that time of the year again…
NEWPORT TIME!
I couldn’t go last year because I had just gotten a new job so I have been EXTRA excited for this year.
And Will has never been on this trip with my family and I!
We have been driving down to California every summer for a family trip for almost 10 years now.. (I feel so old when I say that haha)
We have our same spots we LOVE to go to + we love trying new things every time!
I had always wanted to try one of these Hippo cookies on Balboa Island and they DID NOT disappoint.
Promise they were soo good!
And I hardly ever find classic sugar cookies realllly… I’d prefer chocolate chip any day.
Balboa Island is also famous for their BALBOA BARS!
I had mine dipped in some cinnamon sugar and it was delicious.
I don’t even want to think about the grams of sugar we have all consumed this week…. we are starting to have headaches if we go more than an hour without any sugar. It’s getting dangerous… but since we are on vacation we aren’t planning on slowin down anytime soon lol.
Their donut holes are a MUST!
.10 cents each YEPPPP. I’m there.
On Sunday we went on a nice long walk on the beach with Lu. She LOVES the beach and the water!
And this will definitely be framed for Father’s Day..
My dad is on CLOUD NINE being a grandpa for the first time.
Besides the sugar… we have also consumed a lot of the regular good stuff.
Do any of you go out to Southern California from time to time?
If so I need to do a post of all of our favorite foods!
There are some MUST HAVES out here.
One of my favorite things about this trip are our runs on the beach in the morning.
My Dad, Eliza and I have a 4 mile loop we LOVE. And yes, it probably ends at my all-time favorite breakfast restaurant where we call the rest of our family that doesn’t exercise to come pick us up when we get there hahaha.
We went out to the RVCA headquarters which was pretty neat.
Here’s to a couple more days of sugar, sand and sunshine!!
