San Diego!!!

Devin and I are so grateful that we got to go on a wonderful trip to San Diego in August. Don't get me wrong, I love Julia, but it was really fun to get away just the two of us. I have to admit, I missed her more than I thought I would. We called a lot, even though we knew she was just fine with Grandma and Grandpa. Despite having young parents missing their child syndrome, we were able to relax and have a very, very, very fun long weekend!

Thank you poor economy and empty hotel rooms. Thank you Priceline name your own price. We were able to have champagne taste on a beer budget (it's just and expression people, I've never had either...) and staying at a 4-star resort is really fun... especially when it's really cheap!! We had fun staying at a fancy hotel, but it's hilarious... the fancier the hotel, the fewer things come with the room! I've stayed at lots of cheap hotels that have free high-speed internet, free movie channels, free parking, and free breakfast. Not this place! I guess they figure if you are spending buckets to stay in a resort right on the beach in San Diego (yep, right on Mission Bay... it was great!!!) that you can afford $15 a day for the internet and $25 a day to park your stinkin' car!! :) Whatever... it was still a steal, and well worth it!!

I know... I know... I am a total nerd. But I LOVE the zoo! And the mother of all zoos is the San Diego Zoo. How could we not go? It was great. You really can spend all day there. The animals were fun, the pandas were as cute as I hoped they'd be, and our feet were very tired by the end of the day. So, what could be better than a couple's massage that night?? Nothing, I tell you... Nothing!!!! :) It was my first professional massage, and it was worth every penny!!

We also got to go do a session at the San Diego Temple. The last time we were there was June 3, 2006 (ring any bells? It better ring yours Devin!! hehe... just kidding, you're great at remembering stuff like that!) We realized that we had been sealed there, but that neither one of us had ever done a session there. It was really great. It brought back wonderful memories of our wedding day. We got to go stand in our sealing room and it was so, so great to relive the day we got married, and remember how much we love being married to each other.

All in all it was a much needed and greatly enjoyed vacation!
Now, when is the next one??
Haha... just teasing. ;)
