The 4th at Newport

 In the last three 4th of July's, this is the first one that Mitch and I have spent together-the last two I ditched him for my family :).  This year we stayed in the Newport Villas with Mitch's family. 
 Fashion Island
 Laguna Beach

 We waited for almost 2 hours to eat at Javier's - it was pretty good mexican food though.
 We rented sea doo's and took them out on the ocean.  I wished I had a waterproof camera.  We saw a pack of 20-30 dolphins and they swam along side of us!  After riding for awhile we saw something else jumping out of the water.  We got closer and saw that it was a sea lion. We turned off the sea doo's and watched it show off and clap for us.  We also saw a ton of yachts in the harbor. Oh how I wish I could own one!
 We went to Newport Beach on Saturday and Huntington on Monday (the 4th).  It was like night and day.  I didn't get a picture on Monday but if this was it, you probably wouldn't be able to see the ocean! There were SO many people. 
 We walked a few miles to get to and from the beach to see the fireworks that were shot off the Huntington Pier -But it was well worth it. It was something I have always wanted to do.  Oh and Mitch carried me out all the way out to the middle of the beach and back so I wouldn't get sand in my new shoes. :)
 
All in all it was a good trip.  I'm just not sure I would do it on the 4th again!
