Newport Beach Family (Nov. 1 & 2)

The family is growing. Jen met Andrew's cousin, Robert, and his wife, Yazmin, and daughter, Samantha (8 mo). Andrew and Jen met Samantha for the first time. Absolutely adorable! We also visit with Andrew's aunt, Marsha, who lives just a few miles away. Robert took us for a wine tasting at Hi-Time Wine Cellars that was high-end fun.

Newport Beach is a hip area (setting of the TV show the O.C., which neither of us have seen), and our location could not be better than what it is: on the Balboa peninsula, across the street from the beach. It's been very relaxing and rewarding to reconnect with family.

We returned to Universal Studios on Thursday...with the camera this time. Here's our picture with the famous Hollywood in the (fake) background. They still had the whole Halloween theme going.
