Hi, my name is Morgan Thomson, I am Sharon’s daughter and here is my view of living in Newport Beach!
Life on the Balboa Peninsula
The Balboa Peninsula is my home. Especially since its summer, I basically live there. There is so much to do there. One thing I love to do with my friends is go to the Fun Zone.
Sometimes we go on the bungee jump that overlooks the bay. And we eat at a popular diner, Streamliner. Sometimes we go just to see the people. Also the fun Zone is where the Catalina Flyer is located.
Another thing that is always fun is to go to the very popular, Great Mex. It is literally the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. And it is so close and inexpensive, I go there twice a day sometimes. My favorite drink to have there is a Mandarin Jarrito. Which is a Mexican soda. It is so sweet! My order there is 6 tortillas with butter, and a bean and cheese burrito. It is always very filling, and worth it.
More options to do there is to go across the ferry to Balboa Island! Usually our only purpose of doing this is to go to Dad’s and get hippo cookies! Which are the best cookies ever.
There is so much to do on the Balboa Peninsula. The possibilities are endless! It’s always so much fun.
