Spring Break in San Diego

For Spring Break this year we decided to head south to
San Diego where the weather is warm and sunny--
which has not been the case here in Utah!!
(I would like to add windy to that warm and sunny as well)
Our adventure started in Old Town with a tour of the
Mormon Battalion Monument. It was great, really the
Church just knows how to do things right!


A night out at Petco Park where the Padres
played the Reds but lost in extra innings

One day we toured the USS Midway aircraft carrier
It was really interesting and fun to do
This is a typical classroom where the "Top Gun"
pilots might train and get their assignments
With Derek standing next to this plane you get
an idea of how large this ship really is
Loved Coronodo island and seeing the famous
Hotel del Coronado. (Seeing this picture made
me realize that my little boy is almost a whole
head taller than me!!)
This is about as close to the beach as we got, the water
was pretty chilly and add in that wind I was talking about
and no one wanted to go surfing this time around
You know when it comes to our family vacations it's really
all about the golf and this one was no exception.
Gary and Derek loved the course on Coronodo Island
and then they golfed at Kokopelli in St George
on the way home.


No trip to San Diego is complete without a visit to the
beautiful San Diego Temple. We loved it!!
