Last days of Sunny CA

We are in the Newport Beach/ Costa Mesa area. We drove through Hermosa Beach area, is was absolutely gorgeous. We decided to check out the Aquarium of the Pacific as well as take a Sunset Cruise out of Balboa Pier in Newport Beach. (Shout out to my bro for the tickets!) Dinner at “The Pizza Bakery” was great followed by magical handmade ice cream from world famous “Afters” ice cream. They are known for something called a #milkybun. It’s a doughnut type pastry (no hole) with ice cream of your choice (he chose malted milk chocolate plus a topping!) in the center. It looked amazing but Terry said it was delicious yet “a bit much”. I had the French Toast Cinnamon Churro flavor with Captain Crunch topping. It was incredible, solid choice for sure!! This was the last lazy night before a time crunch to make our 1 pm flight at LAX due to Traffic!! We should have probably skipped our lunch stop at “Ike’s Love & Sandwiches”. I had a GF tuna sub there and terry had some kind of steak sandwich. It was totally worth it in my opinion! Though it led to being the last ones to board the flight and being a bit cramped on the 3.5 hr return fight!!Read more
