Newport Beach ~ Winter Vacation Day 7 (the Last Day)

On January 4th, I took my friend to Trader Joe's because she wanted to buy some souvenirs. Trader Joe's is an organic supermarket, and they have good quality products with cute packaging at reasonable prices.
She bought coffee for her host family and a tote bag for herself. She really liked the design on the bag because it symbolizes California.

Then, we walked at the mall, where Trader Joe's is located. 

Then, we went to Balboa Island. One family who lives near the beach was selling lemonade and cookies for 25 cents in front of their house! The father served some ice on lemonade, and the mother was teaching their two little daughters how to serve cookies and how to receive money from customers. The girls were so cute. :)

The lemonade and the cookies were very good! We were tired from walking in strong sunlight. They gave us energy.

Then, we walked along South Bay Front. There were many yachts.

Then, we walked along Marine Avenue.

Then, we went to Newport Beach.

We walked on the Pier and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the beach.

My friend wanted to buy a Coach bag, so we headed toward South Coast Plaza. There was a Japanese staff at Coach. We enjoyed talking with her. My friend purchased a bag there, and we got two sample size perfumes with her purchase. Yay!

The day was the last day of our winter vacation.
The next day, she went back to Canada.
