02.12.2011: A Day At The Beach....

Ray and Lois were staying with Mom and Dad for the weekend....and had a few hours before the family dinner that night....so they all drove down to Newport so Ray & Lois could see the ocean. It turned out to be an absolutely gorgeous day!! We were still over at Christina's so they had breakfast near the pier...walked around a little, then came over to Christina's place for a little bit. It was such an amazing day that I am sure they wished they could have just laid on the beach all day! But, they had to get back to get ready for the dinner!!

Vince and I stayed in Newport for the afternoon to hang out with Christina, Lex, and Justice a little more. We ended up sitting on the beach for a bit...Lex and Justice kicked the soccer ball around in the sand...the rest of us had margaritas and enjoyed the view. For such an amazing day, we were bummed we didn't bring swimsuits. Shoot, I didn't even have shorts....wasn't expecting sun all weekend!! The Cali coast was gorgeous though....lots of people out getting the benefit of an early start on their tans!! We stayed out there for a little while, then headed back to Riverside for the dinner with the family. Lex needed some alone time anyways to study for his boards coming up...so it worked out well!

Fully clothed beach people...we used to make fun of those people growing up...obviously not from around here....next time we will be better prepared!

Will someone please come play with me??
