For me, I have to agree with you, there is NOTHING on this planet I love more. Now that Snarky Belle is closer and other Little Brother and his family have moved back home, our gang will be certain to do so again and again!<br /><br />Unfortunately, the family I grew up in, although still "close" when it is an event (some birthdays, major holidays, funerals, weddings, etc.) really does not make much of an effort anymore. I hate that for my 80 year old parents. Some of the children, children-in-law, and grandchildren are far more focused on "their" family they created rather than the people who started it all...<br /><br />So, tonight know that I truly do envy your Newport Beach week! What a wonderful and cherished tradition...kudos to you and your sister for making it happen!SnarkyMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15871996802234189153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-43072920186110073452009-07-18T17:42:47.620-07:002009-07-18T17:42:47.620-07:00There's something magic about the beach.

I'll need to do some serious talking to get L to want to participate, however. My family did much the same thing, only the gathering was in Palm Desert for a weekend. There are many happy memories - something I'd like to give my/our kids. Have a wonderful time!karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313237142656662148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-85861035855157458792009-07-18T10:30:33.952-07:002009-07-18T10:30:33.952-07:00May you have a most wonderful time, and come back ...May you have a most wonderful time, and come back and tell us all about it.Grandma Honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09587160523698527979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-53358972305863971772009-07-18T10:13:16.588-07:002009-07-18T10:13:16.588-07:00Um, will you adopt me??Um, will you adopt me??Momzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01078211684662158122noreply@blogger.com
