We had a wonderful time at Newport in May. Weather was almost perfect; one morning of rain, and we used the opportunity to see Water for Elephants at the movies. (By the way, the book was much better in my mind . . .) When you look at these pictures, what's not to like here! This is the view at Newport and a storefront in Laguna Beach. The week goes by fast, but always fun.

 
And, this was the first time we boarded Bentley! So, he had a ball--lots more freedom than we give him, I'm sure. And he got his first haircut! He actually looks like an English Setter now. He graduated from Puppy Class last month, and we've started him in Beginner Class. He treed his first cat in our yard this week; he was so proud of himself he could hardly stand it!
