We decided to spend a long weekend in Newport Beach over mid-winter break. It turned out to be a great way to get some respite from the unseasonably snowy February we got this year.

Legos with Uncle Brian 

The kids loved the real fire inside 
The neighbor’s (adorable) cat 
A book about Newport Harbor Yacht Club’s first commodore, who, as coincidence would have it, was also the original owner of Grandpa Phil’s wooden boat, Synnove 3 
It was neat to hear about some of Uncle Brad’s work on the City Council 

Playing in the lawn 




Uncle Brian’s place 
On a morning walk with Julie 
The kids were a little excited on the way!
