New Port, CA TRIP :D

My parents invited Me & Matt to go with them and the rest of the family to New Port, CA. We jumped at the chance to get away for a few days away from the blazin' Arizona heat :( We left Thursday night at around 7 p.m. because we both had to work and didn't get to New Port until about 1:30 a.m. Everyone else had gotten there earlier and waited until we got there. We stayed @ a really nice timeshare that my Aunt Ann and her family stay at when they go there.

We went to Huntington Beach the next day and hung out on the Beach and shopped. The weather was great and the beach was pretty packed. They had a Farmers Market going on since it was Friday and it was filled with fresh fruits, veggies, breads, roasted peanuts and then clothing areas and paintings. We found this booth full of Native American Indian Jewelry. I couldn't stop staring at the man that was running it because he was covered in turquoise and gold. One of the necklaces that he had hanging around his neck was a huge pound of turquoise that he made into a necklace. The jewelry there was BEAUTIFUL!!!! And I wanted to buy it all, but it was a little pricey and I have my own turquoise jewelry at home that I still need to get sized.
We went to Trader Joe's that night and picked up some meat to grill and veggies and stuff. Matt and my Dad grilled the steaks. The food was YUMMY!!!

Saturday we decided to go shopping at FASHION ISLAND :) That place is filled with great shops.. EXPENSIVE shopping... but cute boutiques and places to eat. They have a big pond area full of fat KOI fish. We went to a Mexican food place that Krystal recommended that we go too. The food was good. The only thing is my water cup had food sticking to the side of it :( Ugh! That is disgusting. So, I had our waiter get my another one, must have been the same cup because it had the same thing stuck to it. Then my fork was dirty. Seriously. I am always the one who finds things in my food, whether it's hair.. eeewwww..food in my cup or dirty utensils... it's ALWAYS ME, NOBODY ELSE! My Mom says that I must have some good eyes.

We drove around Laguna Beach along the coast. OH MY GOSH!! It was beautiful! We got out and walked along Laguna Beach and just enjoyed the beach and the weather. I so wasn't used to walking outside and ALMOST needing a jacket. The weather was nice and overcast and cool and comfortable. I know that Matt was in HEAVEN!!!! :) :)

It was a short but sweet trip. We all decided that we could have stayed another couple of days. A week would have been perfect!!! :) It was nice to be able to get away to cooler weather, the beach, shopping and to be with my family and husband.
