We're just back from our family trip to California and it was so great to have that time as a family and revisit some old favourite places and discover some new spots.
We landed at LAX, grabbed the shuttle bus to Avis to hire a car for the trip and drove the hour to Newport Beach. We checked into the VEA hotel in Newport Beach for 2 nights to check out the OC.
We were blessed with amazing weather throughout our whole trip so it was great to soak up the sun, recover from the flight and get on California time.
Across the road from our hotel was Fashion Island. A great mix of restaurants, shops, Starbucks etc. There was also a Wholefoods where we stocked up on water, snacks and fruit.
We drove to Newport Pier, checked out Lido Marina/Village, ate at Malibu Farm, admired the cute houses. We also hired a boat from Balboa Island and it was great to sightsee from the water.
On day 2 we drove to Laguna Beach to have a look around. The views along PCH from Newport to Laguna Beach are beautiful! We walked through the town and admired the beach from Heisler Park. Stunning!
There is also a great Shake Shack at Crystal Cove State Park.
Amazing views as well.
We had a great time exploring the OC and on Day 3 we drove to Anaheim to check into our Disney hotel.
On the way we had to stop at Walmart and Target so Noah could check out the American lollies etc!
We checked into Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and I'll share more of our Disney stay in another post.
Let me know if you have any questions?
