California Trip!!!

We were able to plan a getaway trip with our good friends, Ryan and Ali. It was so nice to have a little break and be with our friends as well! The downside is that it always seems that wherever we go, good weather NEVER follows. We hit WONDERFUL HOT weather in Las Vegas, but after that it was no where to be found.
We stayed our first night at Mandalay Bay. We left Nephi as early as possible so we can enjoy as much of the day that we could at Mandalay Bay Beach. We absolutely LOVED it there! It felt great to be in hot weather and be able to swim in the pools too! The boys really enjoyed the wave pool. They would NOT get out of the water!
Later that night we walked the strip and ate at the ever so famous Cheesecake Factory. I didn't lug my camera around with me so I don't have many pictures to show for it!

We left Vegas early and headed to San Diego. We stayed at the Sheraton right by the Harbor. Conner and I went to San Diego in October and stayed on Coronado so we were excited to see how we would like a new location. It was fun to experience it, but I don't think you could beat Coronado!! The day we got to SD we went to Old Town and ate FABULOUS Mexican food!! mmm...It's got my mouth watering now! :) We spent the next day doing our own thing as couples. Conner and I decided to go on the Navy ship because that was something we wish that we would have done our last time there. Let me just say, Conner was in HEAVEN!!! (I gave him the camera and we probably have a good 50 pictures that he kept snappin away at!) I thought it was pretty darn cool myself! It was all so very interesting and I am glad we went! I learned a lot and saw some pretty neat stuff! After the Navy ship we took the fairy to our most favorite place. CORONADO! There is a little diner that has the BEST chicken fried steak so we had to go back to that! We loved walking around and going to Hotel Del. It brought back so many good memories!!

After SD we were off to our new destination...HUNTINGTON BEACH! We stayed at the coolest hotel, SHOREBREAK HOTEL. It is a new hotel right on the pacific coast (directly across the street from the beach). It was in such a great location, with not so great weather! It was cold and windy the entire stay. :(  We did a lot of eating, shopping, make smores, and riding our cruisers on the beach. As for our cruisers, I'm not sure you would call them that. Our two bikes were MOUNTAIN BIKES with a basket on front. Kinda funny, but still served the purpose and was a lot of fun!

Here is some pictures of our hotel, and the view from our balcony...

Our three days in Huntington were great, but it was time to head back home. We stayed our last night in Vegas at the Mirage. We spent the time there swimming, walking the strip, losing money trying to make money :S, and eating yummy food!

It was a great trip! Maybe next time we will have better luck with the weather! But one thing is for sure, we were SO anxious and excited to get back to this little cheese ball!... :)
