Get Your Skate On

Summer's here!!!  My last day was yesterday and I'm so excited for a break.  There are so many fun things to do in the summer.  One of them is roller skating.  Yes, old fashioned roller skating.  Skates are back and in a big way.  They're cute, fun, and you can skate at the beach or in a rink.  Do you skate?  When was the last time you did?

Weekend In Newport

I hope you all had a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!  I spent the day yesterday with my brother and sister-in-law in Newport Beach and it was such a great time as always.  

The day began with an amazing breakfast that my sister-in-law made.  She's such a great cook!  Check out these cheesy eggs!

Next, we headed out for our hike, which ended up being about 7.5 miles.

There are so many beautiful wildflowers and the views of the ocean are truly breathtaking.

The way there was much easier than the way back.

This was a killer hill, but check out that view.

These fossils are actually embedded into the rock from 15 million years ago.

After our hike, we headed back to the house for some delicious BBQ (fillet's!)

What a great day!  I can't wait to head back down to visit!

Have a great night...I'm counting down the minutes until I can watch the miniseries on the Hatfield's and the McCoys, since I'm related to both families!
