The wonderful thing about a location such as Newport Coast is that you're close to many attractions but not so close that you get the problems associated with that attraction. For example, we're only a half mile walk from the beach but the resort isn't on the beach and doesn't have to deal with beach parking. We're only a few miles from Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, or Sea World but far enough that we don't deal with the traffic from those attractions unless we actually visit them. And, of course, there are all the attractions sponsored by the resort itself such as the swimming pools, the playground, and King Neptune's grotto running activities full time for kids of all ages.
Today our family split several ways with some going to Knott's Berry Farm while the rest of us enjoyed the resort activity center then watched the koi being fed their every other day rations. No, watched isn't the correct word - we helped feed the fish. Some of us (Grandma Revabeth) showed everyone how to sniff the water lilly blossoms which is supposed to give the sniffer long life and happiness (or just a high).
Later several of the group trooped down to the beach to get a little sand between our toes while others of us trooped through IKEA to find some child friendly cups and dishes. Let's face it, everything around here is an adventure.
