{San Diego}

Jay and I just got back from a trip to California for 10 days. I am a picture-aholic, so needless to say we have quite a few pictures. I thought I would break it up into sections, starting with the last place we went, San Diego. I lived in San Diego for a summer when I was 6, and I actually remember a lot of the places...but then again, we have been back a few times, so that's probably what I remember. We spent a lot of time at SeaWorld when I was little, but we didn't hit it this time.

This was actually from La Jolla, our last day in S.D., but I thought I'd put it first because it makes me warm just looking at it...

One of the memories as a kid living in San Diego--- Old Town. I remember it being quite a big different, but I was 6 at the time and probably was only interested in the tortillas.


Cabrillo National Monument, with Senor Cabrillo behind us.

On Point Loma at the Cabrillo National Monument with San Diego behind us.

One of our obsessions: riding things. This whale was at Cabrillo National Monument on Point Loma.

One of my other obsessions: lighthouses. I can't get enough. Also at Cabrillo Nat'l Moument.

Jay at Balboa Park. I was trying to get that dome to look like it was Jay's hat. It didn't really work.

One thing we had planned on doing was riding these Segway scooters at La Jolla Beach. They didn't have any there, so we went down to Mission Beach and found a place renting them. We had them for an hour and rode around the bay on a little pathway with joggers and bikers. It was pretty hard for me to get the hang of at first, but after about 5 minutes I had it down.
If only GOB were here...If you don't know who that is, you really need to watch "Arrested Development" immediately.

Me on my favorite staircase at La Jolla Cove. We lived in San Diego for a summer when I was 6, and this concrete staircase that goes onto the beach is what I remember. When the tide is high, it covers the bottom of the staircase, and for some reason that really stuck with me. It is quite the flight of stairs, though...

For our last day, we went back through Redlands, where we stayed for the first three days of our trip. Redlands is also where Jay served a good chunk of his mission and then lived for 7 or 8 years...it's also where we got engaged. So it's quite a meaningful city to us. We got to do a session at the Redlands Temple, which is gorgeous.

Unfortunately, we had to leave at some point...hopefully we can go visit again soon. California, we miss you already.
