Valentines in San Diego!!

In spanish, one of my favorite words to say is Penguin= "Pinguino" (pronounced peen-gween-o)

Beautiful Flamingos!!



Jon, cousin Emilio, and I infront of a giant starfish


The Shamu show at Sea World

After seeing the show, I decided I WANT to be one of the ones that swim with the whales!

Our hotel, Coronado CA, RIGHT on the beach!!



Touring cousin Carol's amazing garden




I have to laugh at how much tanner I am than Jon (he is glowing!)


Breakfast with the cousins! This is Jon and his cousin Debbie!


The other day Jon told me one of his favorite things to do is to make me laugh, he never fails!!!
Must be some GOOOOOOOOD hot chocolate, huh Jon?!


Me with the cousins! Angelique and Monica!! They are WONDERFUL! I love em'!!


We had a wonerful vacation this past weekend! My wonderful husband took me to San Diego! I have never been before, and it was great! My only complaint would have been the weather. It was cold, overcast, rainy (and I mean POURING!!), and even snowing near L.A. on Monday!! The ONLY day that the weather held out for us was the day we went to Sea World! We went to San Diego mainly to have a break and to visit his relatives down there. They came up to my wedding, and were THE LIFE OF THE PARTY there! They are a blast to be around!! I love them to death! Here are some of the things that Jon and I were able to do:
-Spend most our time with his relatives
-Go to Sea World on Valentines Day (Jon let me pick the activity, figures I chose Sea World! See previous post about animals LOL)
-Go to dinner with cousins that evening
-Went to cousin Debbie's darling flower shop to see the flowers she was selling for Val Day!
-Spent several nights in a hotel on the beach
-Tour cousin Carol's amazing garden (which literally took HOURS because its so big and detailed! Her husband constructed the whole thing too!)
-Go to dinner in Little Italy in downtown San Diego with cousins
-After some great Italian Food, we all walked around Downtown, and then his cousin Angelique drove us by the coast, she was a great tour guide!
-Go to breakfast with everyone Monday morning (pouring rain that day!)
-Went to Anaheim to visit our friends, Matt and Melissa and their 4 kids. They live in Utah but just happened to be staying in a Condo in Anaheim to go to Disneyland that weekend.
-Got stuck in bad weather and could not make it home Monday. We are SO greatful that Matt and Melissa let us crash at the condo for the night!
-Had breakfast Tues morn at the condo (Jon and I were supposed to be at school Tues, but had to miss because of the storm that hit SO Cal)
-Drove home!!
We had a great time! I love Jon's relatives! They were so accomidating to our needs, and are just so fun!
I also have to say, that I have the most wonderful husband in the world! I will argue with anyone that I have the best man! Everyday I see more and more how much he loves me, would to ANYTHING for me. Jon lives his life ONLY to make me happy, and I know sometimes (a lot of times) I dont deserve it because I can be a big brat!! LOL
Thanks Jon for our wonderful trip together! It was a great Valentines day! Love you!

Michelle it looks like you guys had so much fun! San Diego is so beautiful. I always tell Brian that if we don't move back to Utah that I would only want to live in San Diego. It looks like you had fun and I am glad that you made it home safe:)

I love the pictures! I have never been to San Diego either but it looks like fun. It's funny, I didn't know you were an animal lover.

Michelle, you crack me up. I can’t believe you want to be the one swimming with that humungous whale. I would be too scared. I like that garden is that at her home? That is amazing I would love to see that. :D

Stop making fun of me... My feelings are sensitive and easily bruised! But a nice cup of hot chocolate for breakfast will always heal those wounds.

It looks like you had a great vacation. I don't think I could swim with the whales. San Deigo is a fun place to be.

Hey guys!! It was so great to get to see you. I am secretly glad the weather was bad and you had to bunk with us, so that we got to spend a little more time with you! Sea World looks fantastic! What a memorable Valentines Day for you two.
