Vacation Deets - Part Two

Wednesday: "Brittni Freeze...COME ON DOWN! You're the next contestant on The Price is Right!" This was a phrase that I did NOT hear. I was so disappointed. I thought with my killer name and bubbling personality and rockin' bod that I was going to be a shoe in. I guess cooler people than me were there - shocker. We sat in the audience, which would've been fine, but we were on the 2nd to last row in the freaking corner. I was a smidge disappointed with the experience, but still glad that I went. We got there around 9 AM and were guest #177 & 178. Freaking crazy people and I was one of them. Our show will air THIS WEDNESDAY!! Watch for us! I'm predicting that an old man will play Plinko & win $11,000 - some guy gets a red washer & dryer - and some girl named Gina wins her showcase which includes a new living room & a boat.

Thursday: We went to the San Diego Temple. It was very neat. Inside & out. We met some people...they were all from Utah & a couple from Oregon. I wonder if anyone from California ever goes?? We then went & walked around La Jolla beach...I love that place. Seals are so cute and they were everywhere...along with Chinese people with sweet cameras. We also played in the pool at the resort.

This is what Caleb & I will look like lounging at Bear Lake this summer :)

Friday: We took a 5-6 hour boat tour to the Los Coranodos islands. They were neat & had a lot of history that I enjoyed hearing about. All 3 Jurassic Park movies have some footage from these islands, along with 2 of the Pirates of the Caribbean...and some other movies, but these are the ones that I remember Casey got pretty sick on the way out & I got pretty sick on the way back. It's like we were meant to stay on land. We saw 3 kinds of dolphins...commens, bottle nose & rizzos. TONS of sea lions & harbor seals and a small grey whale (we really just saw his tail a few times, but a whale is a whale) This was probably my favorite day. We then took our sea sick sunburned bodies to Joe's Crab Shack. Yummy.

Saturday: BEACH DAY! It was so freaking cold. Casey ventured out there with a boogie board & got a lot of weird looks from all the surfers in their wet suits. They were probably thinking "That guy is insane" I only went in to my thighs. It was really cold. The weather only the high 60's every day, so that isn't the warmest for ocean swimming. I still loved sitting on the beach with my toes in the sand reading a book. The sound of the ocean is so calming. I wish there was one closer to me. We went back to the resort & played in the pool some more, packed all of our stuff & went out on the town one more night. We went & saw Wolverine...LOVED IT. Got coldstone (for the 3rd time on our trip) and went to at Italian restaurant called Dominics. It was the best meal we had all vacation!!

Sunday: Took about 12 hours to drive home, but the traffic wasn't bad at all until we hit good ol' SLC. I came home to a super sick baby who had strep, but he is back to his fun self again.

Vacations are so nice & I think they are needed. It was a nice feeling to come home though as well. We missed our funny Caleb & our sleep number bed immensely. I loved walking in through our door & thinking "Wow, it's nice to be home!" BUT...I'm ready to go someplace else again.
