A couple weeks ago we had our annual family trip to Newport. We look forward to this ALL year. Once it's over, you start the countdown until next year. Luckily my Dr had no problem at all with me going with a month left until my due date. After the drive though, I did have contractions the whole first night we were there, but that was it for the rest of the week.
We met up with some of the Alexander family (my dad's brother and his fam) every day at the beach and had so much fun seeing everyone. We were beach bums, rode the ferry, ferris wheel, ate Balboa Bars, just relaxed... all our favorite things to do on this trip.
I think my favorite part was the weather. It was such a nice break from the humid 112 heat we had been having in AZ. The 75 degree, overcast mornings, cool nights were just what I needed. It was so much fun, and we are so bummed it's over. I may have had a tiny melt down in the car on the way home that this was our last vacation with just the two of us. Plus the fact that we were distracted counting down until the vacation, having a baby was now the next thing on our list and it made it a little more real... and scary. I hate saying bye to everyone too.
Here are LOTS of pictures from our week!!!

| Laying in the hole Coby dug me. (surprisingly... not that comfy though) |
 |
| The whole group at Balboa for bars and bananas |

| Poor Coby wasn't able to do everything he usually gets to. He got his sling off the day we left for the trip, but still couldn't get out there like usual and it was killing him. I obviously couldn't do a whole lot either being 36 wks pregnant. |

| Coby and I took our "cowboy golf" game for some fun. Everyone was really good at it! |
 |
| 36 wks! |

After his brother did it, my dad got his legs trimmed.
Alexander's are know for some hairy legs and arms. So this was a funny joke after all these years. |
