So Cal getaway...


There is just nothing like the Newport Coast for a nice January getaway... 75 degrees and sunny! We couldn't get enough of the ocean breeze and sunny skies.

When we left Utah, it was 21degrees! We went straight to the beach for a nice long walk.
Some of our favorite things about Newport Beach:

Of course, the beautiful ocean...

the amazing beach houses...


beautiful flowers like this bird of paradise - blooming in January!


delicious seafood - this was an amazing sushi dinner that we had
in Dana Point with sweet Devin...


And most importantly... spending time with Nate, Carrie, Jake, Aubrey, Jane and Avery!


We love you guys! Thanks for a fun day:)
