My return to sun and sand

Jose was in the mood for a drive so we all went to Balboa Island in Newport Beach this afternoon. It was a great day for a swim, too bad I didn't bring my swimsuit. I didn't think it would be an actual beach. I thought it only had a view of the ocean or something. The waves were enormous and of course I was immediately reminded of my pet fish, Niki. Hahaha!




We sat on the sand for a while then spent about an hour after that looking for a place to eat. The island was full of families and groups of friends enjoying a hot Sunday afternoon out so every place was packed. We ended up at a diner in Newport where I had a Bleu cheese burger (sadly, Gourmet's version is much better). Their apple pie a la mode rocked, though. Mmmmm...I love apple pie...
