A week in Newport


A benefit to home schooling and our main reason why we home schooled this year was to spend a little more time together. So our first trip of the year was spent at the Newport Coast Marriott. I'm really thinking of just selling the house and living in a timeshare for 56 weeks of the year. People do that you know! The "suite life with the Billings" You would all be invited!

Home Schooling not at home!

Learning to play Skippo

It was the perfect time to go to the beach for a week. The weather was awesome, the water was warm, and there were no people. The kids snorkled for their first time. They saw Girabaldi's. Mick took his snorkle everywhere including to bed with him. We swam everyday at the pools, watched movies and ate a lot! The Fox's spent the weekend with us, and we had lots of good laughs. Ahhh, we need to live there!

YES!! We'll tell the others that you're moving back. I can see you guys in a timeshare year round. Big houses are overated. jk. (we just keep telling ourselves that).

So glad you guys had such a fun vacation. I can't wait to tell Alex that Mick snorkels. That will get him out in the water. We miss you guys. We'll get together soon.
