An afternoon at Newport Beach

A couple of weeks ago, we met some dear friends at Newport Beach for an afternoon and evening of visiting. They are presently living in North Dakota (years ago they lived in SoCal!), and had traveled here for a warm weather break from the chilling temps of the Midwest!
The day was warm and sunny...
the surfers were enjoying the waves...
It was fun to watch the seagulls as the hovered around, looking for scraps of food.
The area was not crowded, it was perfect for an afternoon walk on the beach.
It was so fun to re-connect with Scott and Aida! We had a great time getting caught up on news about their family, church and neighborhood friends, and also the latest farm news from their area! But best of all, was the great fellowship in Christ that we've enjoyed for the past 12 years.
Of course, one can hardly go to the oceanfront and not eat fresh seafood!
So just before sunset, we headed over to the famous Crab Cooker for a delicious meal.
We had a delightful time! Thanks Scott and Aida!
