Blonde Episodes: Weekend In Newport

I hope you all had a fabulous Memorial Day weekend! I spent the day yesterday with my brother and sister-in-law in Newport Beach and it was such a great time as always.

The day began with an amazing breakfast that my sister-in-law made. She's such a great cook! Check out these cheesy eggs!

Next, we headed out for our hike, which ended up being about 7.5 miles.

There are so many beautiful wildflowers and the views of the ocean are truly breathtaking.

The way there was much easier than the way back.

This was a killer hill, but check out that view.

These fossils are actually embedded into the rock from 15 million years ago.

After our hike, we headed back to the house for some delicious BBQ (fillet's!)

What a great day! I can't wait to head back down to visit!

Have a great night...I'm counting down the minutes until I can watch the miniseries on the Hatfield's and the McCoys, since I'm related to both families!

"Ever notice that 'what the hell' is always the right decision?"

"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."

"If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything."

"The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space."

"We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets."

"I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it."

"We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle."

"I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made."

"Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."

"All a girl really wants is for one guy to prove to her that they are not all the same."

"A career is wonderful but you can't curl up with it on a cold night."

"If you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
