Sunny San Diego

Man we had so much fun! We stayed at the Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa and it was beautiful!!The grounds were so pretty with flowers, ivy, waterfalls, palm trees, etc. everywhere. I loved it.


We arrived Wednesday afternoon and it was sunny, the air was clean, and the sky was blue (such a change from Utah!) It was refreshing!

We got our rental car and headed off to the hotel. They put us in a PT Cruiser which Sean thought was so great. (I thought it was a weird little car), but hey I'm not picky!


That night there was a reception to get to "know" everyone at 6:30 and then a dinner, so we took a nap until then. It was heavenly! Thursday Sean had meetings from 8:00 until 11:30 and then the rest of the day we played. They had breakfast, lunch and dinner for us every night. After lunch on Thurs. we went down to the beach until our massages at 4:30.


Friday Sean had the same meeting schedule and then we all went and toured the USS Midway. It was HUGE! It was the first ship that bombed in the Persian Gulf war. It is out of commission now so they do tours. The flight deck was amazing. I still can't believe that you can land an aircraft on a moving ship. They said the flight deck was the length of 3 football fields.
The San Diego temple was only 3 or 4 minutes from La Jolla so we would see it every time we were on our way home from something. It is so breath taking! (This is just a picture from my window)

Saturday it warmed up into the 70's so we walked around before our flight left. I was so sad to leave our nice little vacation, but excited to see my kids.
(This was right outside our room)
I could definitely live in San Diego if I had too! My favorite part was that everyone kept thanking us for being there (and I kept thinking.. no really THANK YOU!) Of course it was more "thanks" to my hubby, but I loved being a tag-a-long. I met some really great people so I can't wait until next year! :) It was fun to hang out with Sean again!
Hope you all had a fantastic week/weekend too! ;)
