Jonathan & Lindsey's Family Blog

In July we went to California to visit family. We had a great time and took a lot of pictures, so I’m splitting the post into a few. Here we are in the rental car:

On the plane. Kids were good about wearing their masks.

Hanging out at Uncle Brad and Aunt Julie’s

One night we went to see Julie’s son, Dylan, and his band perform at the Wayfarer.

At Uncle Brians. These two had a sleepover there.

Checking out his model planes

Fun fact, Uncle Brad is Mayor of Newport Beach! We got a kick out of watching part of a City Council meeting one night.

Took a pic of some mailers for posterity

Uncle Brian’s Lego creations!

Here are some pics of our time at Newport Beach

We enjoyed quite a bit of time at the Newport Harbor Yacht Club while we were in town. It tended to be a pretty easy place to relax, get a meal and also entertain four kids in between our adventures.

I liked the octagon floor in the bathroom

We went to Laguna Beach with Uncle Brian one afternoon. He showed us the house he lived in with Papa and my grandparents when they were young and told us what it was like there years ago. We played on the beach, walked around town a little and enjoyed a yummy pizza lunch together.

We took out a Shields one day at OCC. The college has a fleet of them which were donated and are used in their training program. They’re great little day sailers which are used for racing. We had a fun time zipping around and out of the harbor in it!
