Waiting... Delays... More waiting... Running... Running... More Running... Dying... Barely Making it...
For this:
Umm...SO. WORTH. IT.
We got to San Diego early afternoon on Monday and drove the hour and a half to my sister's house in Orange County. We spent the rest of the day in glorious 70 degree weather.
After dinner and family home evening we played "kick-the-can". The indoor version being "kick the paper towel roll". It was so much fun. I hadn't played it since I was a kid and I had completely forgotten all the rules, which I quickly learned as I broke them. They are an amazing family and I am so glad we were able to spend some time with them. They are one of those families that you just want to hang out with with the hope that some of their awesomeness will happen to rub off.
Our hotel was in La Jolla and it was a beautiful part of town. We were minutes from the San Diego Temple. Which is so beautiful, inside and out. We kept going back just to walk around the grounds... and to take lots of pictures. SO FUN!
Tuesday night we went to meet some friends at the Hard Rock Cafe in downtown San Diego. It just so happened that that Tuesday was Mardi Gras. Who knew? Apparently... everybody else. Parking was crazy and we got to see a good portion of downtown, which we loved. After we ate we walked around their outdoor mall that was right there. It was huge, beautiful, amazing weather, and so much fun. Walking back to our car we got to watch drunk people riding on buses and shouting to everyone. It was a fun night! :)
So, the week was A-MAZING! I spent my days running, swimming, laying out, sleeping in, whatever I wanted. Evenings were spent with the two of us doing whatever we wanted while enjoying the fantastic weather. My sister, Elaine, and her girls came down one night and we went to Little Italy together. We walked around and ate a lot of gelato. Which reminded us how much we love the stuff and how much we need to go back to Italy.
It was a great week. Thank you to Jay's parents and my sister, Janice, for watching the cuteness kiddos and making it all possible. We appreciate it SO MUCH!!!
It is true. We LOVED it all and we want to go back soon. We think we could even live there. It was THAT fantabulous.

I love that temple. That is such a good picture. I'm glad you had fun. San Diego is beautiful.
Jeal-ous.
Who gets to go on big vacays without kids? That's amazing.
That temple picture is freaking fantastic...you are good. REEEAL good.
I turned 12 when we lived in Orange County so the San Diego temple is where I used to do baptisms. It is beautiful.
Adam and I went on our honeymoon to San Diego..we can't wait to go back again someday.
I think that Brett and I need to jump on the bandwagon and go to San Diego too. It sounds wonderful!
San Diego is one of my favorite places ever. If I can somehow come up with a million dollars to buy a house, we are moving there!
Great shot of the temple.
Okay, I know I am a little special, but I was trying to figure out if that picture was from some big touristy place that you had to wait in line to see, and trying to figure out why you would be having sub zero temperatures in Cali, and then it clicked. You were talking about the airport, weren't you! Ahhhhaaa, now I'm with ya! :) LA-HUV these pictures. I'm not sure I would have been able to get back on the plane to come home. Except for the call of a stair race, that is! Next time bring me.
