I still plan on other beach towns this summer. Found out that the day trip isn't bad traffic wise (aside from any unpredictable traffic accidents or road work).... We made it from the mountains to the so cal beach in less than 2 hours. Coming home was a breeze and was actually surprised at how traffic flowed until we got about 3o minutes from home and found out that there was freeway work going on which we could have avoided had we checked out the various routes home.
We committed to go to the beach at least every four to six weeks and spending the day at the coast.
Here are just a few pics from the little area in Newport Beach called Balboa Island. I took lots of photos which I'll eventually post. We ate at Ciao's in the past a few years back - very good Italian food. We didn't eat there this time - we actually ended up going to a drive through in Huntington Beach at a Jack in the Box before we got on the freeway.
Laura next time you visit we should spend the day going up and down the Southern California coasts.
We use to take the grandkids and they always got an ice cream at Sugar N Spice.
