The beach and ocean always resets me. I am fortunate enough to live in a coastal town and see the ocean everyday. It doesn't matter what kind of day I had, once I get home and take a walk along the harbor, everything fades away and my mind resets. So happy you were able to to relax and enjoy time with nature and your family!!!
What a lovely break. Such a beautiful location. I love the beach and it doesn't even have to be warm and sunny. I'm not a swimmer but I wade to my heart's content. If there are shells, even better. I appreciate you sharing this so much. Pure peace.
Such wonderful memories of Newport Beach and HB with these vlogs. My grandparents lived on Crest Ave in HB when I was a kid. I was a beach girl too. Now I’m a Texan.
I watched this video grinning like an idiot the entire time! What a beautiful family, and so jealous ~ great little beach house! Thank you for sharing your special birthday trip Jen!
Loved the vlog. Really conveyed the laid back feel of a beach vacation, and how much your family enjoyed spending time together. The montage at the end was great.
Jenn - Wow! This is the most joyful I have seen you in a long time. You really are a beach baby! Relaxed, happy, enjoying family time with none of the house hold obligations. Perhaps when your high flying husband decides it is time to retire the wings you can move to a beach community in Florida. By the way, your sons are truly handsome. So glad you shared this time with us and glad you had the best time. I personally don't feel neglected, I feel glad you are taking time to take care of yourself..there would be no videos with out a healthy happy you. Hugs!!
I live an hour from the Atlantic but there’s just something about the pacific! So beautiful. My two kids and I all have summer birthdays. Every summer we are on vacation for one of them.
I am definitely a beach/Disney person. I can do lake too, though, because water has an amazingly calming effect on me. Lately its been all Disney, but I love me a good beach house and hope to possibly own one eventually, when we move to Florida. I absolutely love all our recent Disney trips but now you have me jonesing for a beach trip!
My fambam and I have had the same convo about whether we are a beach, lake, mountain, etc kind of person. And I’ll be honest.... I don’t discriminate. I love it all! Looked like the perfect vaca and much needed for the hardest working RUclips star I know❤️. #keepdoingyouboo
What a perfect vlog the sea (well watching it ) is my happy place we live about an hour from the north east coast in the uk and it is spectacular in places but the North Sea is COLD 😁 nice to sea Scott again and your boys note to yourself make more do nothing time 😀
As a west coast native and living by the beach most of my adult life... yes, lots of people (especially locals) really do wear rash guards or some other kind of UV protective clothing. Even the surfers still wear long sleeve wetsuits in the warmer water just to stay protected. We have so many visitors that just want to lay out and bake in the sun. They then make fun of how much I avoid being in the sun. I don't avoid being outside, I just avoid being in direct sunlight for longer periods of time if I don't have to be. Clothes, hats, umbrellas, shade, and when needed, reef safe sun screen. :-)

Thank you so much for watching !!
How could you ever think that this vlog could be boring. I loved it. It's so natural and positive (but then, you always have a positive attitude)
Thank you so much, Mike!! Natural and positive are always huge goals!!😍😍😍

I’m so glad you liked it and that’s exactly how I feel at the ocean, Cindy! Total peace!😍
These make me not so sad about my kiddos growing up. I LOVE the picture of you and the boys at the end. ♥️
Honestly I used to get sad about it when they were young but now that we are there, I lOVE having grown kids! They are the best!
I spent eight summers in Catalina. I can't get the beach out of my blood. Keep up with the good work Jen. I love how real you are!
Thank you so much, Sabrina! That’s always my goal!🥰
It’s so nice to see the happiness radiating from you! That’s my whole reason for travelling with my adult kids. 💕
It’s amazing isn’t it? I had a friend tell me they should keep traveling with us - as long as we are still paying.🥰🥰🥰🤣
Such wonderful memories of Newport Beach and HB with these vlogs. My grandparents lived on Crest Ave in HB when I was a kid. I was a beach girl too. Now I’m a Texan.
And Texas is just so big and great “oceanless” (and yes I know they have beaches there but not the same!)
I watched this video grinning like an idiot the entire time! What a beautiful family, and so jealous ~ great little beach house! Thank you for sharing your special birthday trip Jen!
My pleasure, Teri! Thank you!
Looks like an amazing beach getaway! We are heading to Disneyland and the beach next summer so these vlogs have gotten me so excited!

I’m so glad you liked it, Janine!
The beach looked so beautiful! Such a great family vacation spot.
Truly I think our best beach week yet! Thanks, Liz!
Beautiful. I loved this one. Your joy is contagious.
Megan you’re the best, thank you!!
Loved this! The still shots at the end were the best! So much happiness and love 😃👏🏻
Thank you, Tawnya! We are far from a perfect family but we have each other!

Thanks, Melody! I am definitely my most relaxed at the beach!
What a nice getaway from reality!
Happy to provide an escape! Sorry it could only be for 12 minutes, Chris.🥰
@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge Well, at least your escape lasted 6 days. That is what really counts.
Gorgeous sunset & beach & family! Glad you got some special time together!
It was so fun, Jenny, and I’m already looking at dates for next summer!
Looks like a wonderful vacation, and I completely agree about the rolls 😁 love the pictures at the end
Right?! This girl eats carbs!!🥰🥰🥰

It really is magical. We live the Atlantic too but it’s not the same somehow.
You looked so relaxed and happy with your family!
Yes they definitely have that affect on me!! Love those people.🥰thanks, Margy!
Fun, fun, fun.....
Loved the ending shots and music. Hope you had a wonderful birthday.
I really did, Amanda! Thank you!🥰
Aw this made me so happy. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face reminding me of my favorite spot in the country 💕
Happy to help! In fact, I think I should go back to bring you even more to watch, don't you?? LOL! Thanks for watching!
@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge couldn't agree more 😉
This is one my favorite vlogs
Especially the photo montage at the end
I also love the song that you chose for tour California vlogs
Thank you so much!! I love it, too.😍😍😍

I so get it, Renee! Honestly I feel like I need to be at the ocean at least twice a year or something in me breaks.🥰🥰🥰

Beautiful! Looks like a wonderful time. Love that Scott and Matt shopped AND made dinner! Love the ending with your still shots.
Yes they are good guys and take very good care of me! Even when it’s not my birthday 🤩😍

Yes, I promise, Norma! More do nothing time!

And honestly even if it weren’t better for the ocean, with skin like mine I would have to keep reapplying all day! Time and money saver.😍
Beautiful family Jen!
Thank you so much, Cynthia!
Beach person! Just got back from a week on Cap Cod. Heaven.
I have never been there but always wanted to!! Glad you had a great trip!🥰
Love it
This just makes me want to go to the beach! Looks like you had a great time! Also loved you skipping and dancing! 😂
Yeah it was a running and skipping kind of day, Mark Alan!😍😍😍
I miss the beach! Thanks for sharing about your time there
Summer school - he’s almost done with his undergrad and couldn’t get away.☹️
This should legit be sponsored by the company you rented from. This is beautiful and totally #vacaygoal 😍
The house just couldn’t have been more perfect! Thanks, Annelie!
Hey Jen, did you ever discover what your beach house upstairs neighbor does for a living?
Nope!
