NEWPORT 2008


In August we had our annual trip to Newport Beach with the Reynolds fam! This is the first time we have ALL been there in several years. We were so excited that Jay and Steph were able to be there for the whole week - Jay is such a good sport!

-

We had so much fun! We went to the beach every day (Dallas LOVED it), had fun watching the Olympics, stayed up late laughing and talking, were FINALLY able to get a family picture (more on that later), enjoyed our morning walks, got our fountain drinks several times a day, hit the Crab Cooker (of course), cruised the bay in little boats, saw The Dark Knight and hit the fun zone too!

-

We figured it has been either 21 or 22 years that we have been going to Newport! It is so fun and I have so many great memories with my family there! Thanks Mom and Dad for another great year :)

It was nice seeing familiar faces out here once and awhile. Hope the pics turned out as you guys hoped. Your family is stunning so I don't think we could have gone wrong.
