San Diego with LOTS of pictures :)

This is what is was like the first couple of days...but as you will see the rest of the time was mostly sunny...and only a little cold :)

I love that little face...

Up and close to the Lions! So COOL!

We had a lot of fun at the Wild Animal Park

We were able to see the BEAUTIFUL San Diego temple! Even though it was raining :)

Cookie Monster eats little girls as well as cookies ;)

The girls got to meet Elmo and Cookie Monster as well...and Lia didn't run away!

We went on a couple fun rides at the Sesame Street Park in Sea World.

We had the most amazing experience with this awesome dolphin, Deke. We did a behind the scene tour and we were able to pet and feed this beautiful dolphin! It was such a great experience! We had a lot of fun with him. (Lia slept through the whole thing)

Hannah feeding the eels! She loved this!

Loved Shamu!

Waiting for the 3d pirate show...

We went to Old Town and saw the Mormon Battalion Show...it was great!

Lia refused to look at the camera...again our stinker ;)

The sea lion show is one of my favorites!

They had a fun Halloween special at the sea lion show! This was Thriller :)

Lia kept taking this block from the little kids with the blond hair (she is a stinker)

It was so fun, I got to see my friend Amanda at Sea World!

(we also were able to meet up with our great friends the Whites, who helped us so much during my stay in Michigan, when we got Lia)

So I am a fan of warm weather and the ocean. We had planned this trip to San Diego in between a few other things that were going to be in the way of us going...first of all our IVF, we wanted to wait so that (we hoped) enough time would have gone by for us to get pregnant and then for me not to be too sick, second, Halloween, I thought it would be lame if we were gone for that. Third, Flavio and I are going to San Fransisco for Flavio's work right before Thanksgiving. Forth, Thanksgiving. I love spending that holiday with family, so we needed to be here for that. And Fifth, Disneyland, Flavio's work spoils us every year and takes us to Disneyland for Christmas, around the first of December. As you can see, we had a very limited time frame for this trip. You might be asking, why did you go on this trip? Well, once again, Flavio's work spoils us and sends us all on a family vacation of our choice each year. Well, San Diego was our choice (well my choice) and so that is where we went. :)

We were so excited. I packed our swimsuits, our summer clothes and told Hannah we would be able to swim at the hotel's pool everyday and that it was going to be warm and sunny! As the time grew near we watched the weather forecast and noticed it was going to rain while we were there. We called a couple of friends who live there and they said not to worry about it ;) Well, I packed a couple of jackets and sweatshirts just in case. I am so glad I did, not only did we have to use the warm clothes, we had to buy rain ponchos while we were there! San Diego received record rainfall while we were there! If we had gone the week before or after it would have been the sunny San Diego we all know and love. Hannah was pretty sad when she only got to swim once, and it was cold. But as you can see from the pictures, we still had an amazing time! Thank you DigiCert! We are so blessed to work with you!
