Pre-Christmas trip

Because of all the craziness and busyness during Christmas, I like to get away from it all and take a trip. This year we went to San Diego. This trip was so much fun because we were able to fit in a lot of activities in only a few days. Brad and Paul went to the BYU bowl game and ended up sitting by Chad Lewis. And we actually WON the bowl game! So worth it when you go to an away game and win.



The boys went to the San Diego temple early the next morning to do baptisms for the dead.
 
 One of the coolest thing was the Fort Rosecrans national cementary. This was a HUGE cementary for all veterans. The feeling there was amazing. There were rows and rows of headstones all aligned perfectly. I am so glad there is a place for these men and women to be honored and remembered.


We ended the trip with a visit to the Mormon Battalion before we caught our flight. What a neat place. It was interactive and very family-friendly (not boring at all). I loved it.
 
 We happened to find a Talbot Street in San Diego...who knew we had a street named after us!


We also did a lot of swimming in the hotel pool and visit with a dear family friend, Mamie and her daughter Jenna. I love them dearly and was definitely the highlight of my trip.
