A vacation to remember!

My mom booked a suite at the Marriott Villas in Newport Beach for an entire week and was so nice to invite us to tag along for the weekend! Here is a little recap of how our weekend played out.... We arrived on Friday evening and were in absolute awe of the property! The suite was along side the sea and had balcony doors that opened up to a panoramic view of the ocean!
We started off on Saturday morning heading out to Balboa Island. We took a boat tour of the ritzy upscale Island and or guide showed us famous celebrity homes, the set from Gilligan's Island and a whole bunch of sea lions!

Afterwards we headed to Newport Beach Pier where the kids explored the beach and I had a good ole time taking pictures!


Sunday morning it was off to Disneyland where the girls had an absolute blast on the rides, meeting their favorite Disney characters and watching the Disney parade.


On Monday morning we woke up to a delicious breakfast prepared by my Mom and Bill! Then it was time to say goodbye and head back home...

Mom if you're reading this I love you... I'm thankful for the time we got to spend together and I'm so blessed to be your one and only daughter to have you all to myself! Oh and Bill... Even though you ate my dinner at Joe's Crab Shack and almost got us lost (yes, even with a GPS) you are still alright in my book and it is nice to see my mom so happy with you... Thank you both for a memorable vacation!

  1. Aaah, looks like you had such a great time. I can't wait to go! I love the one picture where Mia has her hands crossed and is looking at all of you (4th picture down), like your all weird. Have a blessed day.

  2. Thank you Amanda for being such a great deal finder and for coming and staying with us. We loved having you and Oscar and the girls be a part of our fun weekend(sorry about dinner and the ride back to the Villa)and hope to do it again. Thanks for letting me get closer to you, that means a lot to me. Bill
