Will and I have looked forward to this Newport trip for so so long.
To be dead honest, this winter was a doozy for us.
I feel like ever since I crashed my car, something weird or stressful happened to us every week (or every day more like). We started a phrase of “2016 is not our year!” and would shout it every time something funky happened haha. Which makes me sad! Because I really hope the rest of 2016 isn’t like how it’s been the past little bit.
Anyyyyyyways, we felt like we’ve been needing a getaway for some time now so we booked a trip to California for the end of February but then I got my new job w/ Albion so we had to cancel it! I was super bummed out! But obviously excited to start my new job and knew it was for the better in the end.. but boy-oh-boy I was craving the ocean + some REST & RELAXATION like crazy.
I knew that my parents were going to visit my grandparents in Newport the end of March so I asked/begged if Will & I could join in on their trip (even if that meant sleeping on the couch at the hotel.. which we did).
They agreed and it was the best week all together!
We celebrated Easter, visited Balboa, went on walks to look at all of the amazing houses, read books, laid by the pool, visited the Newport Temple a couple times and ate way more than I’d like to truthfully admit.
My favorite stop will forever be Rose’s bakery (if you are ever in Newport, get the Lucia burrito w/ a chocolate croissant and a Diet Coke w/ Lemon. You can thank me later) but CREAM was SUPER amazing and fun to try! Ice cream sandwiches! Can’t complain about that.
More pictures to come.. I’m just currently at home cleaning up while Will is in Houston at the Final Four! Lucky duck.. still waiting for my invite 😉
