Sunny San Diego (without any sun).....

We went to San Diego for a few days this week. It was WONDERFUL! Though we did not see the sun ONCE while we were there and it was warmer in Utah....we still had many laughs and magic moments.

Oliver started his time in California with a solid nap as soon as we got into our rental car:

Here is Oliver at our Hotel. We stayed in La Jolla at the BEAUTIFUL Grande Colonial House.

Here we are at the beach, in the pacific ocean. Notice that we are the only ones foolish enough to do this on such a cold day.

Sweet boys:

Here I am expressing my dissatisfaction in the lack of sunshine:

We had not planned on doing any of the local parks, but with the absence of the sun, we decided to go to the San Diego Zoo:

We chose the Zoo because Bryce told me the sweetest story about how he wanted to the San Diego Zoo SOOOO bad when he was little to see the Koala Bears.

Here he is with Oliver, finally realizing his dream:

And here are the boys again, completely worn out:

Another great thing we got to do was to see our friends Jud and Julie. They live in L.A. and drove down for a night. It was so great to see them....

And here is our only family photo from our trip.

It was an amazing trip! We are so lucky we got to go.
