Beach House 2010: Balboa Island

So, a couple of years ago on our annual-Carter-beach-fest, we ventured out to Balboa Island. I loved the whole experience... but most of all, I loved the frozen banana I ate while we were there.

Well, this year since we drove our own car, I made my banana-allergic-husband drive our little family 40 minutes away from the beach house to allow me to bask in banana bliss once again. It was awesome and totally worth it.

Can you taste the greatness yet?

Hello, Mr. Banana Grabber.
Arrested Development, anyone?

And though I haven't even HAD a Bluth's - er - I mean Balboa Island frozen banana, I am now salivating and craving one.

Mmmmmm.....

You are a blogging machine. I kind of wish we had gone with you to Balboa...mostly because you ate Mexican food. Next year.

I love love Balboa and try to go whenever I can. I always eat at the Crab Cooker that is in Newport and then go over to Balboa. I hype it up a lot and people that go with me are like "This is it?" but I love it.

ooooo that looks fantastic and I am so glad that you got in your car and went to some place that you love! I have places like that and like Tammy said, people are like "this is it...wth?" but there is just something wonderful if you think IT is wonderful! I love this blogging...it makes me feel like I see you often and i love doing the play-by-play of the beach house. I can't believe Sarah is as big as she is and has just become a toddler over night! LOL i love Poppy in his short out with the kids...what a good grandpoppy! I love the pictures of the kids below! I aodre those little munchkins!
