Our Trip!!

Deveren, Bailie and I went out to San Diego to visit a very good friend of ours. Amy moved out there for a great job opportunity and we really wanted to pay her a visit. We drove to Las Vegas on Wednesday and stayed with my friend Cora and her family. Then drove to San Diego Thursday afternoon.
Friday we drove to Oceanside to visit with Deveren's Grandma and Grandpa Borgia. Grandma made soup for us and Grandpa made 'Borgia Dads' (which is a sourdough pancake with either apple or cherry pie filling inside). We had a great time catching up and seeing the AMAZING view of the golf course! Thanks again Grandma and Grandpa! On our way back to Amy's apartment, we went to the San Diego Temple and took some pictures there. It is the most beautiful temple!!
On Saturday we went to the San Diego Zoo!! I have wanted to go there for so long and I think I was more excited than anyone! After the Zoo, we drove to La Jolla Beach.... OH MY GOODNESS! It was so beautiful there!! We have decided that when we retire (and are super rich) we will retire in San Diego.
On Sunday we had to say goodbye to Amy and head back to Cora's house in Vegas. We stayed the night and headed home Monday morning. We had so fun fun!! It was more driving than I would have liked, but it was so much fun seeing friends and family!

Here are some, ok A LOT, of pictures.... I will post pictures of the beach, lunch with Grandma and Grandpa, and pictures of Cora's family that I took later.


The Zoo



Some of Bailie's favorite animals at the zoo





Bailie loved the zoo, but I think I loved it more!





I was so sad because I dropped a big hunk of carmel corn


I love giraffe's


This is us after walking around the HUGE zoo all day long... We are so out of shape!!

I seriously LOVE San Diego. That is where Steve served his mission and I received my endowments there so it is a pretty special place for us. We got to go this past June too. You are very lucky!
