San Diego, part 4- Friday

Brandon got done with his conference Thursday night, so we had Friday all to ourselves.

We went to La Jolla on our honeymoon, and our hotel was within eyesight of the temple. But on our honeymoon, it was closed for cleaning. We had always wanted to do a session at the San Diego temple, and we finally got our chance.


We tried to take pics, but they aren't great. I picked the only 2 good ones we got.
 


We did a session and then were asked if we had time to help with sealings. We said sure and headed up to the sealing rooms. BTW, the San Diego temple is GORGEOUS. Did you know they have an atrium where the sealing rooms are? Live plants and beautiful flowers, right there.

Anyway, while we came in to do sealings, the sealer kept asking if we knew what we were doing. We kept saying yes. Then one of the patrons asked if we were newlyweds. We explained that we had been married nearly 7 years and that we had 3 kids. Their response? "What, did you guys get married when you were 14?!"

My response? "Like, ew, gross! Boys had cooties when I was 14." :) Just kidding... we just smiled and mumbled that we're older than we look.

The streak is alive and well. This happens to us wherever we go...

After the temple, we decided to drive across the freeway and find some lunch. We stumbled upon our old honeymoon stomping grounds! We went to this same shopping area complex every night on our honeymoon, and nearly every night we went to this place called BJ's. LOVE IT. We just had to eat there again. Their Pizookie is to die for.

Classic funny face from hubs...

Finally a nice enough pic. :)

We finished up the day by showing hubs my beach spot (it was overcast, the only overcast day, so we didn't stay long), went to the hotel and, get this, took a nap. Wow, it's been a while since we've done that. Then we went out to dinner and had a fun night.

My mother-in-law was SO nice to watch the kids so we could have this week together. I had so much fun. I know that some people might think that all day, every day at the beach is boring, but it was just what I wanted. Perfect.

3 books later, we made it home on Saturday. Boy, did I miss those kids! Rett seemed like he had gotten so big!

  2. The SD Temple is the only one I've seen the inside of (before it was consecrated, of course). Still the prettiest LDS temple I've seen
