CALIFORNIA DREAMIN'

LAGUNA BEACH

My friend Tiffany and I spent the weekend in Newport Beach, California. It was perfect in every way! Except, of course, for the confusing freeway and road system there! I no longer trust Mapquest and Google Maps. They gave us the most confusing directions ever! There wasn't even a 91 South. It doesn't exist! I can't tell you how many times we turned around on the way there.

ELLIE

Ellie got the most attention out of all 3 of us. We strolled her around Fashion Island, in Bloomingdale's, in Coco's for breakfast, etc. She went everywhere we went!
NEWPORT BEACH SUNSET

Hopefully in a few years I will have someone standing with me in the sunset pictures next time. Sooner than later?


Need I say more? If in Newport, it is a must to eat here. We even got seated in the trolley!

WE ALSO RENTED CRUISERS AND RODE ALONG THE BOARDWALK, ATE BUBBLEGUM ICE CREAM, WATCHED THE HOLIDAY IN OUR HOTEL ROOM, AND MADE FRIENDS WITH THE VALET BOYS. WORD OF WISDOM... DON'T EVEN BOTHER STOPPING AT THE OUTLETS ON THE WAY HOME. G H E T T O! THIS WAS AN OFFICIAL GIRLS TRIP... THE FIRST I'VE EVER HAD (NOT INCLUDING FAMILY). IT WAS COMPLETE WITH A NATALIE IMBRUGLIA SING ALONG ON THE WAY HOME!
