We spent most of the day at Newport Beach yesterday. I realize it’s winter out there and in most parts of the county it’s cold, snowy cold. Heck, even in Southern California, temperatures should only be in the mid-60’s. But for whatever reason, Mother Nature changed things up for Orange County and sent warm weather, thermometers along Newport Coast were in the 80’s. True Newport Coast Winter Weather.
Break out the sunscreen that’s bikini weather!
Since the wee people were still on holiday, it was an easy decision to gather the sand toys and hit the beach. For over 5 hours, we played in the waves, collected sea shells, built sand castles, inhaled salty air, and then dug a hole to China. Oh yeah, I took a few pictures too. Would you care to join us?
Give me your hand and come along….
Adieu Newport Coast, see you again soon.
Thanks Mother Nature for such a special day.
Until next time friends,
sending warm sunshine to your part of the world.

That looks amazing. We are having great weather here as well, but seriously, the BEACH? Eh… the beach isn’t as fun up here in NorCal.

Ashley, I cannot wait to get my lens on a Nor Cal Beach, neighborhood, friends, et al. Soon my dear – soon.

Wanna come with me? 😉

Mary, the photos of Yo Mama… did I really just say that – are far superior. Let’s met in San Clemente the next time the weather permits with the kiddos, I’ll bring my big girl camera. xoxo

I am SO loving this Southern California winter. Thanks for your great pictures. My kids are already back in school this week, so they are having to enjoy the weather from inside their classrooms. 🙂
