San Diego

Last week Jane and I went to San Diego for a few days. We stayed on Harbor Island where we were surrounded by water. Out the one side of the hotel were hundreds of boats. Out the other side was the main harbor. It is a beautiful place to stay.

We went to Sea World and had a great time. We loved the shows. The highlights for me were the following shows: The Sesame Street 4D movie, brought to you by the number 4 and the letter D. The 3D was great and the 4th D included getting sprayed with water and the seat shaking. The seal and otter show is always great and of course the Shamu show is incredible. The most amazing show had nothing to do with the sea. It is a show called Pets Rule. The show is done with cats and dogs rescued from local animal shelters. We have all seen dogs do amazing things and this show was no exception, but I had no idea you could train a house cat to do anything. (I have always felt that our cats have trained us, not the other way around) They had cats doing things I could not believe. They had one climb a pole and then cross the stage on a high wire. It was truly amazing.

We went to the San Diego zoo and were amazed at the size of the place. You would need at least two days to see everything. We took the bus tour around the zoo and then decided to see things that we could not see at our zoo. The pandas were indeed the highlight.

We went to Sea Port Village one evening, Old Town another. Our last evening was spent on the beach on Coronado. We watched the sun go down from there. It was beautiful.

The highlight of the trip was the temple. We went to a the temple Thursday morning. It was a very small session. Jane and I were asked to be the witnesses. It was a great experience and such a beautiful place.

I am glad that we were able to get away for a few days.
