Sandy Ego!


Dede and I traveled to San Diego for the weekend and had a lot of fun on the beach. It was 78 degrees and sunny when we left on Monday. We enjoyed watching the surfers and soaked in the warmth, knowing we were headed back to cold snowy utah! (There was a foot of snow on the ground when we left on Friday morning). We stayed in the Banana Bungalow which is a hostel right on the beach. We didn't spend very much time there cause we had so much to do and see! We went on a harbor cruise and saw the coastline of San Diego and learned some really cool things. (none of which I can remember now).



We also went to the Wild Animal Park! We got a little bit lost and took the long way there so didn't get to stay as long as we wanted. What a cool place! We took a tour bus and saw giraffes, rhinos, lions, and other animals. The lions were my favorite. The parents were not anywhere around but we saw 6 little lion cubs playing and rolling around with each other. Soooo cute!

The trip to the San Diego Temple was the highlight of the trip for me. I think this temple is so beautiful! We went to the 8pm session on Saturday night. With only 7 women and 2 men it was a small group. We also were able to see Rhett Miller in concert. He is one of Dede's favorites. I enjoyed it as well. We drove up the pacific coast highway to get to Solana Beach where the concert was. We watched the sunset at Fletcher cove. It was really pretty. It ended up being a really really fun vacation!
