This is actually me laughing it up with with “Extra’s” Maria Menounos. Marriott’s Newport Coast Villas offer an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of “Extra” through Have Fun Tours in Newport. I had so much fun today that I fell asleep with Athena when I put her down at 6 pm. I haven’t done that since she was a newborn.
This is the first time since I started traveling with Bucket List Publications that I’ve been too busy to write. Newport Coast Villas has been filling my schedule with bucketlist experience after bucketlist experience. Would you believe that Athena met Curious George today? Would you also believe that I met Mario Lopez or who every woman my age knows as A.C. Slater?
Do you think Newport Coast Villas will just let me move in here rather than getting an apartment? I live a life of unique experiences but sometime I just don’t even realize what’s possible. Thanks for showing me a few new possibilities, Newport Coast Villas.

Yep; we were so tired when we got home that we both fell asleep at 6 pm. I haven’t done that in years. There was just so much excitement!

I think Mario Lopez trumps Curious George any day! Unless you are Athena’s age 😉

Athena would argue that one 😉 She LOVES George. It was a great day for both of us. lol

If you are around when they offer this mini train ride, I bet it would make Athena’s day! It’s next door to Newport in Costa Mesa check it out. http://www.daytrippen.com/goathilljunction.html
My father’s intention was to name me Athena, but an aunt interfered with his decision and suggested my grandmother’s name.
