Our Anniversary in San Diego

For our 7th anniversary we stayed in San Diego for a night without the kids!  It was the first time we've left Olivia over night.  We were going to take her with us but decided we could leave her since she had pretty much weaned herself by then and we had a babysitter we could trust.  We stayed in the Westin Inn which we got for a good deal on priceline.  It was pretty fancy looking.  They were so kind to let us know the night before that we would be waking up to protesters outside.  They were right on time and VERY loud.  At least it got us up so we didn't waste the morning sleeping in.  And I guess we will always remember it!  Here's what the hotel looks like:

The next morning we drove over to Coronado Island to walk around the Hotel del Coronado.  It was a beautiful day to walk along the beach.  Our pictures turned out pretty good considering they were taken with our cell phones since we forgot the camera.

    

  

Then we rented some bikes and rode along Mission Bay (the area by Sea World).  We love that area - quiet and beautiful. 

The last thing we did was sealings at the San Diego temple.  We've tried to keep up the tradition of doing sealings in the temple on our anniversary.  It was nice that it worked out that there was a sealing session just starting when we got there and they needed a few more people.

We got home pretty late, but the kids survived.  Olivia even got used to the babysitter by the time she woke up the morning we were gone.  It was a nice trip for us.
