Newport Beach-Balboa Island

Today we went to Newport Beach to see Lisa's cousin Ben. He took us out on his boss' boat for a tour of Newport Beach and Balboa Island! It was really fun to go on a boat. We saw a lot of big houses, big boats and a couple of sea lions. Adam liked waving to the passing boats and paddle surfers. Ben let us all have a turn driving the boat (top speed 5 mph)! That was my favorite part.

After the boat ride we had lunch at the Rusty Pelican. I had my first Shirley Temple. Then we drove over to Balboa Island to check out the boardwalk. We rode the carousel two times, played a few games in the arcade and then had a shaved ice! It was a very fun day!
