Spring Break 2010...

This last week Neal was on Spring Break...and boy was it needed! It was so great to be able to spend time with him after he's been studying like crazy and practically living at the school. His parents were able to come down and spend time with us. We love family and visitors so when our family is our visitors we are in a state of PURE BLISS!


We played pinochle many times, by the pool, on the beach and at our home. It was the ladies against the men and the men won (not because they were good but because they got lucky hands) haha. I mean come on..2 double pinochle's in a row!!! Unbelievable!




We also found a new little fav place to eat...Rubio's (loved it!)

We went whale watching and to Balboa Island, it was so fun and such a great experience. We saw a couple of whale's, dolphins, sea lions, and lots of seagulls. The weather was amazing the day we went so no one got sea sick because it was so calm. Balboa Island....SO FUN! If you haven't been it's a must. It's just a quaint little town with ships in the habor, cute little beachfront houses, and some fun shopping. We are definitely going back, we didn't get to spend enough time there to fully enjoy all there is to do.

Neal and I went to the Los Angeles Temple because Newport Beach was closed for maintenance and we haven't been there yet. Talk about huge rooms! It was the biggest temple I've been to. It was beautiful and nothing beats the feeling you have while in the temple.

We stayed the night in Laguna Beach, did some window shopping, went to the beach where we also played pinochle, and went geo-cashing. This was Jasper's first time at the beach and he LOVED it.




Here's a little taste of how hyper Jasper got while at the beach:
