Pick Up Six

It's all about ME!

I spent six days in San Diego, so this post is all about ME and what I did on my trip! :-)

I wen to Lego Land with my parents and my two brothers and their families that happened to be their during my visit. This is a life sized Darth Vader made out of Legos. My children recently watched several Star Wars movies, so I took this picture for them.

My mom and I went to a session at the San Diego temple. She took me on a private tour of the themple. We saw the Youth Center where she works once a month, and the sealing room where Barry and I were married 14 1/2 years ago.
These were some of my close friend during high school. This picture was taken at our senior prom. We reconnected a few years ago via facebook, and we were all lucky enough to make it to our 20 year high school reunion. Only one of the four still lives in San Diego. One lives in Arizona, and one lives in New Zealand.

We recreated out prom picture.

My dad is working on building a house, so I was able to help out a bit while there. This is me with my brother Larry working on a retaining wall.

Of course we had to go to the beach! I wen't boogie boarding for the first time in over 10 years. It was a lot of fun. We were careful of stingrays, there had been 3 stingray incidents that day alone! We also spotted the tail fin of a tiger shark about 10 feet away. (they are about 2 feet long). I didn't know what it was until my dad was talking with another beach goer about what we saw and she told us her opinion.

Barry was great at holding down the fort while I was gone. He fixed pizza and breadsticks for dinner, took kids to swimming lessons and dentist appointments. This picture is Mindy after he put her hair in rag curlers Sat night. Oh, he also pulled out the fridge and stove and cleaned out behind them and vacuumed the refrigerator coils!

Marianne watched Mindy get her hair done and wanted hers done as well. Barry said she sat patiently through it all, but by the time the camera was taken out Marianne was ready for bed and in no mood to have her picture taken. It was hard to leave my family for so long, but I had a wonderful time.

Have a great week!
