The fog rolled in. Beautiful. This is the on ramp to costal highway from Lido:

See those garbage cans? 12 years ago Eric brought me to the beach during low tide at 530 in the morning. Riding beach cruisers down the sandy slope made things slippery and I ran straight into them. It could have happened to anybody! lol

Also, look how handsome my husby is!

Throwing and skipping rocks:

Awe, his body!

Chloe is quite the photographer:

Then she wanted to model:

Then she had me model:

The amazing bay window that I would curl up in while the sun soothed my soul!

Newport Beach and Balboa Fun Zone

We walked from our Airbnb down to the board walk, down to the fun zone and enjoyed the empty fun zone. 

Beautiful sunset

I rode the Ferris wheel with the kids! I may have gotten an upset stomach and the guy must have felt the vibes I was giving him. The extra long right was in fact not an extra long ride. The things we do for our kids! lol

There is Eric, taking our picture!

Some 'cheap' made food to add to the fun zone experience! Eric and I definitely regretted the nachos, chicken strips and fries we all shared.

Balboa Pier:

That is Jay down there on the sand:

 

January 8th, 2021 Lido and Newport

At the Airbnb we stayed at!

Clay Street in Cliff Haven, Newport Beach, CA. One of my favorite streets because of these trees. We accidentally made a wrong turn one night and I'm so happy we did :)

Over looking Corona Del Mar Beach

PDM, Pain Du Monde, is mine and Eric's coffee shop. We visited this place right after our engagement and various times through out that trip and the ones that followed. I was devastated when I heard the news that they closed down because of covid. I may have cried a little inside. Tasty pastries, great chai, food, service and sentimental memories.

3636 East Coast Hwy, Corona Del Mar, CA 92625

These pastries are really delicious. Those twists...mmmmm. Clearly, I didn't take this photo, but I just have to show you just how yummy they really are!
