Jessica's Temple Trip

Our family has had a bit of excitement lately. Jessica received her mission call and will be serving in the California Fresno Mission (aka The Lord's Vineyard). With the arrival of her mission call came a trip to the temple for her endowment. Jessica's two favorite temples are Salt Lake and San Diego, so we decided to make a trip to San Diego so she could have family time before she leaves. And with Lamar's suggestion, we made a couple stops along the way.

We first stopped in Vegas to see Lion King. I didn't love it, but the girls and Lamar loved it. We also stopped at several outlets on the way to San Diego as we began the never-ending quest to find cute sister missionary clothes.
The San Diego Temple was so beautiful! It was kind of funny because we ran into some neighbors from St. George while we were there. Jessica also saw one of her friends from Provo who was there for a wedding. What are the odds?
Kelsie and Jessica. Kelsie did baptisms while we were in Jessica's endowment session. It was really neat to have her there since the two of them are so close.

We went to Sea World after the temple since it's one of my favorite places to go. The girls and I fed the dolphins.

Up close with Shamu.

The whale show was my favorite part! And I guess Jeremy helped make the video for the daytime show "Believe," so he warned us about the obnoxious music. We almost bought him the dvd, but figured he wouldn't really appreciate it.

We really had a great trip. Jessica said it couldn't have been more perfect. We found lots of the clothes she needed, we had a fun getaway, and best of all...Jessica has finally received her endowment--something she's wanted for a long time. We're all so happy for her and are excited for her mission.

I'm new to this blogging thing so I hope you'll post comments. We'd love feedback. I'd also love to know if you have a blog, because I love seeing what's new and exciting in my friends and family's lives.
