San Diego

On Tuesday my Dad was able to take off work and we went as a family to San Diego! We stopped first at Seaside Village for lunch.

We ate at a little corner "food court" typpe of thing, so they had something for everyone there. And of course, the boys chose burgers and fires haha

We then went to the USS Midway. It is a retired air craft carrier used in 3 different wars (at least i think it was 3) and now they let people go on it and tour it! How cool is that!?! Cam and Cole are sitting in the ejection seats (ones that eject out of airplanes when a lever is pulled). They thought it was pretty cool. Here they are pretending to be flying and their plane is going down so they are trying to decide if they want to pull the lever or not. What great imaginations! haha

On the top level of the ship you could go in many different typed of aircrafts (bombers, helecopters, spy planes, etc) Paige was in her stroller and could not go in so we watched the boys go in some. Trey stayed with us for a little while and was just making Paige smile so much! She really loves Trey! It is so cute to see!

To the right of the ship, or left depending what way you are facing haha, there is this giant statue of the famous post war kiss. (it was a picture taken of a soldier just coming home from the war and he grabs the first girl he sees and kisses her. They do not know who the soldier is but found out who the girl was. And now the picture is pretty famous, and they even made a statue of it) I love that they did that! So cute!

Mom and I trudged on ahead of the group (they were still going inside various air crafts) and went to the front of the boat. I forget what these are called but there are two of them and they kindof look like horns on the boat, and they hang over the water way high! But it was so cool to go on them! They used to be used to catch the rope/elastic thing that helped planes launch from it, or something like that =>

After the air craft carrier tour we drove by the San Diego temple! (on our way to Old Town/ Mormon Battalion center). I LOVE this temple! It is so gorgeous, even with scafoldings. But then again, what temple isnt gorgeous? But this is one of my all time favorite temples! It is like straight from a fairy tale!!

We then went to the Mormon Battalion center. That place is SO COOL! The Mormon battalion was amazing, and I never realized just how much they did for the settlement of CA!

After the battalion center we went to Islands for some food then headed home. What a fun day trip with the fam!
