{catching up!!} - MARCH 2014 : Spontaneous Mommy & Paisley Trip to Newport Beach

My girlfriend, Tricia, surprised Paisley and I with a trip out to visit her in Newport Beach, CA.  She spontaneously called me up at 8am and by 5pm that day Paisley and I were on a plane flying to her beachfront oasis.  We spent 3 nights and 4 days touring Newport Beach, Corona Del Mar, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach and Crystal Cove ... just us girls!  Being that it was Paisley's 2nd trip with just mommy, she was a pro!  She loved flying on the airplane and was a dream at the airport. (Even at 20 months of age.)  She was so excited to be in California that she was continuously giddy & giggly the whole trip; on walks & stroller rides, at restaurants & shopping and of course on the beaches.  
Thank you Tricia for the fabulous surprise vacation, we loved spending time with you!!!
Off we go .. with a carseat, stroller, suitcase, carry-on bag & pac-n-play (not to mention a 20 month old)
I rocked it at the airport!! 
 We made it to Newport Beach!!!
Great View to wake up to :)

STUNNING!!!
 Next Stop - Crystal Cove
 Paisley adored the beach & her freedom!
 We ended the evening with cocktails on the pier & watching the sunset :)
 Good Morning Huntington Beach
It was a chilly morning so we walked the pier with coffee in hand 
& watched the brave surfers tackle the rough waves.
Oh how I love Laguna Beach
Typical - Mommy Chasing Paisley around & her giggling with glee the whole time!
 Best way to spend our last day in Newport Beach ... shopping at Fashion Island!
Delicious goodbye lunch at Great Maple :)
 Leaving on a jet plane ... Goodbye Tricia!! We will see you soon!
