It’s not very often you get to be a tourist where you live. At the beginning of August I had family coming in from out of state for a sister’s weekend. On Friday we did a bonfire in Balboa and the Ferry ride at sunset. Saturday was a beach day in Newport with Valentino’s pizza on the beach. Sunday we toured Sherman Gardens, drove PCH, and took the Trolley in San Clemente. Monday we had a Tea Party in San Juan Capistrano, toured another garden, the Newport Back Bay and ate Gelato on Balboa Island. But wait, there’s more! California Adventure was the stop on Tuesday, and finally on Wednesday night we went to the Angels game and watched them complete the season sweep of the Dodgers. It was like the old days with a packed stadium.

 

So amazing to see California through new eyes full of wonder. Keep that wonder 💙
