Newport, CA

Well, let me say first of all, that I am so thankful for friends. I think they are an intregal part of a happy life - I love to see the people that emerge when kids, work, cleaning and worries are lifted for just a couple days - We did solve 2 world problems, but the rest of the time we just laughed, exercised, ate, beached it and stayed up way too late .



Brecken got a lot of grief for bringing her Little Red Riding Hood basket to the airport. She was doing a kind deed for her sister, but it certainly started the trip off right as we were laughing the entire check-in time.

We stayed at Marilee's parent's place near Newport Beach, so nice of them to let us stay there


When you stay up until 3 am every night, there's all sorts of things that are necessary - like measuring ourselves


ok, seriously has anyone seen the nutritional facts for the food at Cheesecake Factory? The waiter was very hesitant to give 9 women the booklet, but we pryed it from his fingers - seriously eye opening.

We loved this picture of Tamara:) We knew exactly how many calories she was putting in her mouth right then:)

Oh to sit on the beach and read, talk and sleep - so, so nice - loved this trip so much
