Our Newport Beach Holiday

Need I say more?....

We rented this beautiful little beach house, two blocks from the beach and backing onto a canal. 

It was perfect!!

This patio was really working for me....so so relaxing! 

The house was quite fabulous.....lots of reclaimed wood and rough details. 

There were actually two separate patios (this one was a raised patio over the canal)

Nice airy high ceilings...

It even came with our own little Duffy boat!

As you can see....Toby was thrilled to be the Captain!

Beautiful Corona Del Mar Beach...

Nothing like a good old-fashioned ferris wheel (Balboa Island)

We took our little boat across the harbour and stumbled into this amazing restaurant!  (The Cannery)

We moored at the restaurant's private dock, and walked up the ramp to the front door.

What can I say?....the aqua blue cabana stripes pulled me in!

I mean...seriously.....look at that bathroom! 

(hehe...am I the only person who would take a picture of the bathroom?)

Oh...and the food was fabulous!

BUT....the best part of this little vacation BY FAR was getting to see my beautiful friend Ali !!!

I miss her so much already! :(

ps...I'm  not actually that tall.....I was standing on a step :) Although, I must say, a girl could get used to being that tall!

And Toby had so much fun with his old buddy Seb! 

They hadn't seen each other for a year and a half....but as you can see......they started off again right where they left off.  

Hugs and all.

Finn and Sander met for the first time, and before we knew it...were sharing teething biscuits and eating each others' feet :) 

Baby bonding? 

This is where we spent our evenings.....it was simply perfect!

Fire lit...

Candles burning...

Waterfall fountains tinkling...

Boys sleeping....

(well....except for this night when Finny woke up, grinning his big wide grin)

All in all......it was fabulous!

We'll be back. :)
