last lytle getaway

We deceided to do one last little getaway before school starts this week:(  WHAT a bummer.  We headed down to Newport for the night and met up with all the cousins the next day.  Every summer growing up  my family would pack up and head for a week to a beach house in Newport.  What great memories we have of those weeks with our cousins and friends.  It is such a fun place!  Because it is so darn expensive now adays to rent a beach house we try every summer to go down there and spend the day doing the things that we love.  Eating at the Crab Cooker is top of the list!  After luch we spent a lot of time on the beach. Later we headed over to Balboa Island on the Auto Ferry.  We ended the night letting the kids spend a few quarters in the arcade at the Fun Zone.

It was a great end to a great summer.

Jane's Corndogs!  She really wants this cement bench.

On the ferry over to Balboa!
