Weekend Getaway

Now, I know everyone says the last two months of your pregnancy seem never ending, but I feel like mine are going to fly by. So, Ryan and I thought we'd get in one last weekend getaway before the baby comes since everyone's been telling us "you won't be able to do that once your baby is here" and "your lives are totally going to change" Yes, we know it won't be the same once the baby comes, that's why we are trying to get it all in now. So, we got work of Friday and drove to Newport Beach. We were kind of bummed when we got there 'cause the weather wasn't too great, but we made the most of it and went to Balboa Island to do some dinner and get my favorite chocolate covered bananas. Saturday morning we woke up and drove to Long Beach to take the Catalina Express over to Catalina Island for the day. It was raining when we boarded the boat and was still a little cloudy when we got to the island, but only for about an hour. Then it was nice enough to lay on the beach and do some swimming. We showed Mark and TJ around the island a little and did some shopping, eating, and relaxing. It really was the perfect way to spend a day at Catalina Island. We woke up Sunday to some more sad weather so we decided to pack up and head home a little early. It was kind of a bummer 'cause we wanted to hit up Sea World or maybe Newport Beach but that's no fun if the weather is bad, so- maybe next time. At least we have Lake Powell to look forward to in just a few weeks! Here are some more pics of our day at Cat.Ryan and I just chillin' on the beach while TJ swam in the ocean for the first time.

All of us at one of my favorite restaurants on the Island, Armstrong's Seafood.

This was what the weather was like on our way to Catalina......and this was the beautiful sunset we saw on the way back.
