San Diego Get-Away

My pictures are a little backwards because let's face it I still don't know what I am doing. So after our trip to San Diego we drove to Cedar Break. It is very pretty up there, we missed the leaves by a week or so but it was still fun to go up through the mountains. I love living here and being close to such amazing sites. If you couldn't tell it was very windy and chilly.
Look who we saw that also took a little stop to Cedar Break. Kim forgot her camera so I snapped a quick family photo. (Lucy in the car asleep and Emily not excited about the detour.)

The views were AMAZING!!
Our first day in San Diego we went to Sea World. The last time we went was when Courtnie was 5 months old. It was a hot day but everyone loved it. Our favorite being of course seeing Shamu up close and personal.
Notice the different size animals that everyone got. Small, medium and LARGE!

The last ride of the day, Shipwreck Rapids. I knew that I would get soaked and I didn't want to do this at all. I was hoping Tyren or Dad would have gone with Chandler but they didn't want to and Chandler was very sad that he wouldn't be able to go on it. Well Courtnie and Mom stepped up to the challenge. The sacrifices we make for the ones we love.

Before the game we went on a tour of the USS Midway an air craft carrier that last sailed in 1991. It was way cool! These boats are HUGE! This is us standing way out over the boats edge where the planes take off. A little on the freaky side!
The cute little Faldmo family is so nice to always drive and meet us when we go and visit California. We always look forward to anytime that we can spend time with them.

Paul and Tyren were the most fascinated by all the planes and helicopters on top. Did I mention that this boat is HUGE!?
Inside Tyren, Colby and Courtnie sleep in the bunk beds. Very tight quarters, I don't know how anybody could live in such tight spaces.

Friday night we drove to the San Diego Temple. The kids LOVED this temple and its unique structure. It is beautiful at night.
Fall Break and an away BYU football game make for a perfect little family road trip.
We had a great trip and to top it off BYU won!!!!

I LOVE San Diego. Trust me, it's a lot warmer than Washington D.C. In fact, isn't San Diego supposed to have perfect weather? Glad you had such a great trip.

Stinkin' fun! You guys always know how to party... and party... and party. Your kids are probably tired (you, too?) but totally happy. MUCH WARMER than the week we just spent in rainy D.C.!

It was fun to run into you. To bad we didn't make it all the way to Cali. Looks like a great time. I couldn't believe when you called tonight and said you were in Las Vegas again. You two live it up and I love it! Not to mention a U2 concert. Jasons Favorite!!! Hope you had a great time! Thanks for the picture. You can always count on Shauna to have her camera.

You rock behind the lens! That temple picture is GORGEOUS!! Thanks for leaving me a kind comment on my blog. You're too nice!

Way to show the men who wears the ride pants in the family! :) You guys get around, it's nice you can travel and work that out with your schedules. I have to say you have a great-looking family. Your daughter Courtnie reminds me of your sister, too! Great pictures, thanks for sharing!
