Newport Beach Trip

The king is dead; long live the king! This year we changed up the annual Huntington Beach trip and decided to stay at Newport Beach instead. Great food, beaches, and scenery resulted, as did a fabulous day in Disneyland.

James' suit brought to you courtesy of Baywatch San Francisco Edition.
Lots of people were having fun.
The police helicopter spotted us. Run!

More cool firecrackers on the Fourth.
No better way to celebrate the birth of our country than by blowing up a small piece of it!
Grabbing some lunch at the diner.
What a catch!
Football on the beach is fun.
Kurt Warner has nothing on James.

The Matterhorn was too much for some of us.
However, we survived.
We were having way too much fun with our cameras.
Hanging out for a bit.
Some more lounging.
The eternal question what to do next

Sexy James just doesn't have that same great ring to it that Sexy Ben enjoys.
No surprises here.
That's two for two, Yen!
I'm not convinced that Wild James is all that great, either.
Third time's a charm! Oh.
It apparently doesn't run in the family.
The machine finally starts working again.
...or does it Just kidding, James.
Billy Kakes, Man of Passion.
Tim is unstoppable.
What you can't see in this photo is her rating of Frigid.
A closer look.
Ben's thrilled with his score.
Well, at least this Ben is.
Go Kavita!
Half Dome we can manage, but Disneyland really beat us down.
