More From Our Vacation

Well, we survived the sailing excursion so you get another day of vacation highlights. We had planned on doing the San Diego Temple while we were there but somehow M couldn't find her recommend before we left. She had looked where it usually is but it wasn't there. The last time she used it was when Brian & Lindsay got married. Well, we couldn't find it anyplace so we weren't able to do as we had planned. We just went and wandered around the temple grounds and talked to a sister missionary there. Her and her husband were on their 6th couples mission!!!
I had never been to that temple before and I agree that it is a very beautiful temple but all the temples are beautiful in their own way. The way it just sort of appears at the side of the freeway as you drive in just takes your breath away.



After wandering at the temple for a while, we headed to Coronado island. We parked along the main drag and did some wandering and window shopping and ended up at the Hotel Del Coronado. I had only seen this hotel in a movie and it is bigger than I imagined. The beach is wonderful but the sand was super hot that day. M got soaked up to her waist while enjoying the beach. It is one of our dreams to be able to afford to stay at the Del Coronado hotel just one night before we cash in our chips!!!!!!! We can always dream so we might as well dream big.


We had such a great time at the beach, we decided to pose for a picture of us with the ocean and waves as our backdrop.

Don't we make a wonderful looking couple!!!!!!!!!





We wandered more of the main drag and then went to a city park and had a "picnic" lunch. We headed to the harbor area to wander more shops and just sight-see like typical tourists.

After a wonderful time on Coronado island, we headed back to San Diego and relaxed and had a little dinner.
