Queens & Beaches


August 7-10, 2013

The end of summer was upon us and we needed a vacation.The best answer- let's go to the beach! We stayed the first night in Newport, followed by a night on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, then back to Newport for our last night. We toured the Queen Mary, drove into Los Angeles for the night (that is a whole separate post!), spent a day at Huntington Beach, walked the Balboa Pier, and shopped at Fashion Island. Also August 10th was the 1 year anniversary of my heart surgery- I had to celebrate!! 

Lauren had gone down a few days before us with her friend Sydney to relax on the beach and attend Pageant of the Masters, an art show at Laguna Beach. They pick a piece of art and depict it live, referred to as "living pictures." Lauren loved it and I think it is something we will also have to attend next summer.


A piece of art depicted live on stage- those are real people holding really still!!

The Queen Mary was cool to stay on, I just love it's Art Deco design and interesting history. Of course we had to get photos in the red phone booth!
