Hubby and I are big foodies, so I know we'd be exploring the restaurant scene, especially the seafood. Thanks!

Annaliza  – (May 24, 2012 at 10:24 AM)  

I would love to take the family for some Whale Watching, Movies on the Beach and try a few of the restaurants.

Lynette  – (May 24, 2012 at 10:35 AM)  

My daughter loves the beach so we would definitely spend our time there!

Sara Smeby  – (May 24, 2012 at 10:37 AM)  

Ooo, whale watching, the photo walk tour with the pro photographer and the kayak fishing would be *GRAND* ways to celebrate my husband's and my 40th birthdays this year! :) Golf, too! What a lovely place! Thanks for offering this fun opportunity to win!

Warmly,
Sara

Brianne  – (May 24, 2012 at 10:41 AM)  

We would definitely love the whale watching but even just lounging at the beach would be fantastic!

Cori  – (May 24, 2012 at 10:41 AM)  

Seeing that we live in cold, rainy Seattle, the weather is the most attractive thing to me right now. Both my husband are beach people and it has been a long time since we have been on any vacation.

Kami Essig  – (May 24, 2012 at 10:43 AM)

Jennifer Cowan  – (May 24, 2012 at 10:54 AM)  

I love southern California! I would go shopping while the kids and hubby spent some time at the beach! Great Vacation!

We would LOVE whale watching, kayak fishing (for the hubby), but mostly just the beach. It would be wonderful just to have a few days to relax, that doesn't happen often enough!

I would love to try stand up paddle boarding. I think my boys would love it too!

ailie  – (May 24, 2012 at 10:57 AM)  

Our family moved from So Cal to Idaho in 2008, and the two things we miss the most (besides friends) is the beach and the restaurants. So we'd love to soak up the sun at the beach and try some restaurants (21 Oceanfront Restaurant looks like it would make the perfect date).

Please!

Harrisons  – (May 24, 2012 at 11:01 AM)  

The beach! A couple years ago we went to San Diego. My kids would have been completely happy skipping Sea World and the Zoo and spending every waking minute at the beach. The Coron Del Mar beach looks like a FABULOUS place to set up camp for a few days and let these poor land locked children have fun!

kto1s  – (May 24, 2012 at 11:02 AM)  

Can't beat the beach itself! Love Crystal Cove for exploring with the kids!

Andrea B.  – (May 24, 2012 at 11:11 AM)  

The beach. It would be so nice to get away and spend some time in the water and the sand!

Thos Duffy boat excursions look so neat! We would also love to hike the preserve, relax on the beach, and check out the shopping of course!

I think between the beach, shopping and eating, we wouldn't have time for much else!

Dana from Our Life's Legacy  – (May 24, 2012 at 12:04 PM)

We would lounge on the beach and then go out on a whale watching trip! What a great place to visit!

Sarah  – (May 24, 2012 at 12:22 PM)  

I would love to hang out on the beach all day - body surfing, beach cruising, and whale watching. And hang out at the beautiful hotel. It would be amazing and relaxing!!

brentandash  – (May 24, 2012 at 12:27 PM)  

As a young teen I grew up reading the Robin Jones Gunn "Christy Miller" book series! In the book the young teen visits her wealthy Aunt and Uncle who live in Newport Beach each summer! She meets new people, has many new experiences, and grows with her summers and time in Newport Beach! Ever since reading the books it has been a dream to go to the area. My favorite places to visit would be Fashion Island, the Farmers Market and then also take the Balboa Island Ferry to Balboa Island to ride bikes and get a Balboa Bar.

Li  – (May 24, 2012 at 12:31 PM)  

My boys would get a kick out of whale watching. And of course, playing on the beach!!

monica.  – (May 24, 2012 at 12:35 PM)

I grew up very close to Newport Beach & miss it tremendously. If I had a chance to go back, I'd munch a frozen banana on the boardwalk, take a whale watching cruise, and be sure to have a shake at Ruby's on the pier!

Lorie  – (May 24, 2012 at 12:39 PM)  

We were just watching a video of our last trip to the beach...THREE YEARS AGO! I was just pricing flights!! I would have to say that the 10 miles of Orange County beach would be the best part of the vacation! And my kids would want to stop by the Balboa Fun Zone!

Trinity Whitley  – (May 24, 2012 at 12:41 PM)  

I can't decide between restaurant week and the beaches! I'm a foodie and there's plenty of eating to choose from!

I would like to drive down the Newport Coast - my closest beach is Galveston Tx, so I would love to see a real beach with blue water instead of brown! I would also love to hike in the nature preserve.

laying on the beach would be my number 1, but renting bikes and riding on the beach would be fun!

Greg  – (May 24, 2012 at 4:43 PM)  

I love the beach the best! It's one of the better beaches in CA.

Oh my gosh ... my perfect family vacation is embodied in this contest! One word: beach. Playing on the beach, watching movies on the beach (how fun!), building sandcastles on the beach, creating family memories on the beach to last a lifetime. How could one not want to win this?! :) Thanks for letting me enter. Living in AZ, we need this! :)

renting some beach cruisers from balboa bikes n beach stuff and coasting along the beach boardwalk would be a lot of fun!

The amenity I want to use the most is the beach. I'd love to see the Pacific Ocean. I live on the East Coast and see the Atlantic all the time. I'd love to compare the two.
