    Balboa Bars are an absolute must every time we go there. I grew up trying every imaginable combo. The first one I had I was about 4 or 5.

    Love the beach side walkway during Christmas. That area goes all out along with the boat parade.

    The Dad's Balboa Bar with butter brickle has my mouth water all the way from Oregon! It was our family favorite from many years ago...

    Wow! Haven't been to balboa since the 80's still looks beautiful! Thank you for taking me back to happier times!😇😇

    Its all well kept, because the people that live there have old money. Also fun fact Inxs filmed the music video The Devil Inside at the fun zone. I grew up in Costa Mesa during the 80s and 90s

    I’m Central American and know that frozen chocolate bananas have been around for a very long time. My great grandmother used to have a small convenience store and she sold them . Maybe those locations were the first in that area to sell them, but I doubt they invented them

    Spencer I don’t tell you enough how fantastic your music accompaniment are to all your videos!!! It really makes me happy and more relaxed and just jazzed to hear your music that you add. Great job!

    I grew up in Irvine, we’d ride our bikes to Balboa and take the Ferry and enjoy the peninsula too!!

    When I went to UCI, how I loved to cycle there, take the ferry, cruise up the peninsula and back home. Good times.

    Balboa Island in Newport Beach looks really original and fun. I love all the murals on the walls and they pay homage to many famous people. Your vlogs are so calming and informative for me, they take away a lot of negativity that I experience. The boardwalk on Balboa Island is so cool with a nice pathway for pedestrians. I would love to visit Newport Beach sometime and I've heard so many great things about it. Thank you for bringing happiness to my life and I continue to watch your channel!!

    I’ve been to Balboa Island before. My family and I rode the ferry to the island, and we had frozen bananas while also exploring the shops in the area.

  • @joannebush4491
    @joannebush4491 Před 2 lety +2

    It reminds me a little bit of the small Jersey shore towns. The balboa bar looked so good. Wish I had one now.
    Made me a little sad. Sugar and Spice was the name of our departed corgis. Miss them. Besides that was a great video.

    I have been to Balboa since I was an infant and I love the Balboa bars they are the best! And walking around the island is so nice. When we were little my siblings and I would swim in the bay with our dad. I personally like Dads better on the Balboa bars.
