I love San Diego weather it can not be more perfect! Just the right temperature, just the right amount of breeze, just the right amount of humidity. We found our new hometel and the surrounding are to be great. There are lots of restaurants and shopping close by and a park just down the road. Everything we need is in walking distance, which I love and the kids tolerate. We have been here for about one week now and have got to see and do a few things.
The kids learned that the swimming pool here is WAY colder than in Miami. I think they only lasted about 20 min in the pool. I didn't even try to get in, because I knew better. Our hometel has a basketball court and tennis court which the kids and have loved. We just get all the equipment from the front desk. Colt and I have tried to play tennis with the kids but it drives us crazy. Hopefully they will get better so we can actually play a game.
On the 5th Colt and celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary. We went out for our traditional anniversary temple trip and this year I was very excited to be able to go to the San Diego California Temple. (here to learn more) It has always been one of my favorites, it looks like a castle, and it was as beautiful as I remembered. Our night out would have not been possible if it were not for an amazing family that we have known for 8 or 9 years. They moved here about a year ago from our ward back in Colorado. The kids were SO EXCITED to see there family and play with there kids. We were happy to see our former Bishop and I was excited to see my former (most amazing) visiting teacher. They really are the sweetest family.
I took my family over to Mission Beach and showed them around and told them of some of the memories I had there from when I was a kid. They were very impressed by the roller coaster and all the other rides and thins to do there. They were surprised by the ocean temperature, not what they were expecting after Miami beach which was so warm. We had a fun afternoon exploring Mission Beach and all that was around that area.
Until next time. Love you, C,M,B,C,E, and L
