Jazz Band

 Z had a Jazz Band concert which was super fun.  He and his fellow musicians were fantastic!

Newport Beach

 We had a lovely little getaway to Newport Beach, CA in mid-January  We met the other Hitchcocks (Jeremy, Ann, Evie, Libby, Gideon, and Emmy) there for some fun, food, and beach!

The first morning we were there we had a tsunami warning because a volcano erupted in Tonga!  The water was cleared of most of the surfers, and we ended up seeing dolphins playin in the waves just off shore.  It was amazing!

Z is our water boy.  Has been from the very beginning.  I told him on this trip that it was kind of ironic, because the first time I gave him a bath I nearly drowned him.  It seems to have gotten the water into his blood.

We went on a whale watch but saw absolutely nothing.  Sadness.

Well, we did see a lot of smiling faces.  But no whales.

No visit to California is complete without eating at In 'N Out.

Our last night we saw a beautiful sunset on the beach.

Before we caught our plane we went to Laguna Beach, which was just lovely.
