Newport Beach

This weekend our friends Dallin and Krista were here visiting from Utah. They wanted to meet up saturday and go to the temple. The San Diego temple was closed for cleaning so we decided to go to Newport Beach. The temple was breath taking. It looked like an old spanish mission. The inside was glorious and beautfiul. It was so much fun to serve the lord there. Josh and I have never been to a different temple besides the St. George one so it was a treat. It was funny because when we got there, they told us we should have made a reservation. I didn't think there would be that many people there but there wasn't one parking spot and the workers told us there were 9 weddings! It was a very pleasant surprise. Then afterwards we went to lunch at a fun little local cafe called Cappy's that was right across from the beach. Then we went down to the beach and played in the water and some beach volleyball. It was very relaxing and a much needed get away before our very hectic and exciting week!

It was really windy and we had the spray sunscreen so when i tried to spray it on his back most of it blew away instead of spreading evenly. This is the very sore result. Sorry hun :(

I'm so excited that you have had visitors already. When I come visit, I would like to check out some of those Temples too! Nothing but FUN:) LOVE, MOM
