The lucky residents of Newport...


Ahhh! Newport Beach! Could it have been any better? I seriously doubt it. Bakersfield was 110 deg. and we were enjoying 65-70's. Just beautiful.


We stayed at a Marriott Resort Hotel which was exquisit. There was a restaurant, a separate bar, gift shop, spa, and a Starbucks within the hotel. It was like an airport in itself. This was the view from our 3rd floor balcony window. Yes, that is the beach you see on the horizon of that lovely golf course!!
















Since it was 07-07-07 - weddings were happening all over the hotel! In fact, from our front door we spied on this!

SOO PRETTY! (Just a thought for your future Moe!)


The reason behind us staying in such a lavish location was that it was tremendously discounted IF we attended a "time-share seminar." Marriott owns the only time-share property located on the CA shoreline. We had to go see it (gorgeous) and get their 90 minute tour - THAT'S ALL! They gave us cheap hotel rates, $25 to the hotel restaurant/bar, and $50 to Fashion Island (the mall within walking distance). We went there with the mindset that WE WERE NOT INTERESTED, however, Matt and I caught ourselves actually considering the time-share concept once there! It was just SO nice! Maybe someday.






























Yep! For the price of my FJCruiser, we could own a piece of this beach front property for ONE week each year!


That night, we ate at the Cheesecake Factory - a place where my stomach is never as big as my eyes! MMmmm Oreo Cheesecake! But the gift card came in handy!


The next day, we ordered room service for breakfast and then headed out to HOLLYWOOD to watch WICKED on Broadway! Oohhh SO GREAT!
I was surprised at how humorous the play was. Ga-linda was hilarious! I loved it. Those girls can sing!


We spent some more time at the mall, and in our room...













I know what you're thinking... "Who's that model? Damn good lookin!"


No...back off! Sorry Girls, he's taken!
On our way back home, we went to one of Matt's fav. spots to eat...

"Thee Original Shack." Matt has been to 3 of the 8... (5 in Hawaii, 2 in CA, 2 in CO) Really good food! They BBQ... Mmm.
