the last hoo-rah

we decided to squeeze one more summer vacay in before school starts.

so off to newport beach, california we went (minus the husband who had to stay home and work)

i went with my family and my sister danielle who flew in from boston.

it was so nice for all the "daley" cousins to be together and get to hang out

on the beach for a whole week together.

we enjoyed the cooler weather, took night bike rides to balboa island for tasty frozen bananas and famous balboa bars, played on the beach, relaxed and for those who dared, played in the freezing cold waters of the pacific ocean.

rides are way more fun when your hands touch the sky.

some happy. some not so much. and some shivering.
