Part III

ZIONS

 Tuesday was spent in Zions.  Perfect day for a little bit of hiking.

 Weeping rock

 The Narrows..... which is a difficult hike through water and a narrow canyon.
Very, very cold water.

 We didn't take the camera because of the high likelihood of falling in.
There were some spots where we were up to our waist.
Freezing.
Braden and I want to go back in August when the temperature is up and the current is down.

Part II

SNOW CANYON

The boys went down into some cool caves

 Sand.  Everywhere.

 Beautiful landscape

So attractive.

The sole purpose of this is to embarrass Braden one day.

Lunch!!

Hiking, hiking hiking!

This hike is called "Pioneer Names" and has names written in axle grease from the 1800's

San Diego - Part II

Give me a vacation with a bike and a kayak and I am happy.
Happy, happy, happy!

 

On Wednesday, we went on a bike/kayak tour of La Jolla.

8th most expensive city in the U.S.

Wizard of Oz was written here.

That's all I remember of the facts of La Jolla.  But I do remember how beautiful it was!

You can see the temple way off in the distance....
We were at the highest point of the area.

Seals at the Children's Beach

We hiked down into a cave.... amazing shot!

snapshot of my very cold toes.

We saw a dolphin - twice!
and yes, it was freezing.

San Diego - Part I

Last week, Robert and I headed to San Diego to spend a few days.  

I planned the trip for Robert's 50th birthday.... 

it originally had a baseball game included;

but who knew that the San Diego Padres played their home games in Arizona in March?

I guess everyone but me.

We stayed at the Hotel Del Coronado -  amazingly fabulous!

It was VERY cold and windy.... so hot chocolate on the beach was perfect.
Perfect except that it costs $5.
EVERYTHING was expensive.

 Beach combing for treasures....

 The hotel grounds were absolutely beautiful!

 We stopped over at the San Diego Temple... breathtaking!

 The coastline is really amazing and so very different everywhere you go.

Old Faithful

Shea was the photographer for the photo's above...

I don't have a picture of her, but Tammy did 

get one of me photographing 

(and almost getting eaten by)

the buffalos.
