Balboa Island

Well, there's only one week of summer left before going back to school and Ryan and I are trying to soak up every last bit. I requested a few days off work last week so we could take a few day trips. The major one ( and only one more than 30 minutes away) was a drive to Balboa Island. While very tiny and a definite tourist attraction, we really enjoyed ourselves. We ate lots....lunch at a cute Italian restaurant where we sat looking strait out the window while we ate (bottom right square), a frozen chocolate covered banana (apparently an old island favorite) and ice cream in a waffle cone. Afterwards we walked along the beach, past all the pretty beach cottages. There were birthday parties being had, and lemonade being sold (seems like quite the place for a vacation home). 

It was a lovely and much needed date day, 
and I sure am lucky to have such a wonderful fiance :)
