Jason and I decided to take a last min. vacation to Newport California. When we arrived and entered the lobby of our hotel we saw an unusal sceen. At the hotel we were staying at they were having a medieval role playing convention going on in one of the banquet rooms. (just in case you missed it YES I did say ROLE PLAYING). There were so many people dressed up. Jason and I couldn't resist so we walked down to the banquet room to take a peek. This is a picture of the guy who was guarding the door so normal people (that would be people who weren't given a character to play) would not enter. I was fighting back laughter the whole time. They actaully let me try on some of the costumes and let me fight one of the other characters. Jason took footage of this on his phone in case you want to see.
The first day Jason and I were so excited to be on vacatio
n at the beach. He and I got in our swimming suits and took off to the beach. When we arrived we were so bummed that it was cold. We walked around hoping that it would get warmer but no luck. We spent the day sight seeing and shopping. We were so bummed and hoped that the rest of the vacation wasn't so cold. The next day we woke up to find the sun was out and it was nice!!! We spent the whole morning and afternoon hanging out on the beach. We should have realized that this was really our first time out all year and probably can't handle a whole day of sun because later that night we had to find a Walmart to buy some aloe. Our favorite part of Newport was Balboa. We had lunch at this cute diner that was at the end of the pier and it overlooked the ocean. After lunch we rented a canoe and we paddled around the whole Balboa Island.
The next day we decided that we better avoid the sun to give our skin a break so we headed up to LA to visit Hollywood. We took one of those tours that drives you around to all the major sites of LA. They also took us around to see where some famous people live. We
saw the houses of... Micheal Jackson, George Clooney, Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz, Tom Cruise, Shandra Bullock, Halle Berry (there were a few more) but my favorite was the playboy mansion ;). We had a lot of fun but now it is back to reality.
