Newport Beach

We went to Newport Beach for spring break. I was REALLY ready to take a break from my class and leave town. We went during St. George's spring break which was the first week of March. This was a little too early. It was still kind of chilly in Cali, but it was still fun. I sure wish St. George would decide to change their spring break to the third week in March. Cali would of been great then. Oh well, what do you do. Enjoy it anyway!

We decided to do something a little different then we've done before and take a trip to LA. It was kind of a long drive in all the traffic. I guess that's why we don't usually go that direction. Anyway, we went to the Griffith Observatory. It was pretty fun. We have never been there before and I have never seen the Hollywood sign that close. It was fun but cold and very windy-if you couldn't tell by my sweet hair-do in this picture!

We ate Mexican food one night for dinner. My plate was as big as the table.

I have never seen so much food in my life.

We were pretty stuffed when we finished and I bet we only ate about 1/8 of the food.

We headed to Newport beach for a fun day.

One night we took a walk out on the pier and

noticed something down on the beach.

We went down to the beach and found this dolphin dead.

It was so sad.

We wanted to see some dolphins but not like this.

We decided to take a boat ride to go whale and dolphin watching.

We hoped to see some dolphins alive and doing well.

We did spot lots of dolphins.

We didn't end up seeing any whales. :(

Maybe we will next time.

But we did see lots of these.

I would take any one of these.

SOME DAY Chayce and I will own one of these.

You can't really tell how GORGEOUS all of these beach houses are

by looking at my crumby pictures. They were so beautiful and so fun to look at!

We love the beach!

I love this picture of Alyssa picking her wedgie

while I am trying to take her picture.

So cute!

I can't believe some of the crazy fish that people would catch off the pier.

They were very interesting looking.

I hope we make it back to the beach soon!
