I am so bad about taking pictures in our everyday lives, but I did manage to take some pictures during our vacation to southern California earlier this month. Here are a few:
We visited the California Science Center with Uncle Philip, Aunt Carol, Emily and Sydney. We had such a good time hanging out with them!
We tried to get a good family picture outside the Science Center at the Rose Garden. I think we missed the roses by a bit but it was a pretty area.
We took the kids to the Griffith Park Observatory. In the background is the Hollywood Sign, but you can't see it because of the fog/pollution/marine layer/whatever they call it.
On the way down to San Diego, we took the scenic route and stopped by the San Diego temple.
One of our favorite exhibits at Sea World was the Artic Exhibit, featuring the beluga whales.

We saw Blue Horizons, which featured dolphins and pilot whales, at Sea World.
We also saw One Ocean, the show featuring Shamu.
William and Tessa enjoyed panning for (fool's) gold at the Mormon Battalion Visitors Center near Old Town in San Diego.
We paid a short visit to Coronado Beach. William and Tessa picked up a few shells but we didn't stay long - it was pretty windy and cool. In the distance you can see Point Loma, which was our next stop.
This is Henry looking off Point Loma to the North.
All in all it was a really fun vacation. We've decided that we like taking our little trips in August. It's a nice way to break up the remaining few weeks of summer vacation and escape Cache Valley during the dog days of summer. By the time we got home there was only one full week of vacation left until the kids go back to school (they go back on Thursday, August 25th), so a week away in early to mid August was just perfect.
