The HoneyMooners Again

A little more than five years ago, Dallas and I took our honeymoon trip to San Diego. We loved it. Who doesn't love a fun honeymoon!?! This spring we went back to San Diego and loved it again. Just Dallas and I. No boys. And it was just as great as the first time! This is just a glimpse.

Yeah, I got to touch and talk to that dolphin. He was in a good mood...oh wait all dolphins are always in a good mood. I love it. They are the nicest, smartest creatures. We stayed at this training pool in Sea World for a long time and watched the trainers go over the daily routine. I am amazed every time at the way they can move and jump! 

One of the best days of our trip, we were able to attend the San Diego Temple. All I can say is Awwwesome. It really felt like we were in heaven since it is just about as beautiful. This sounds bad, but I think our temple doesn't even compare. Every room we visited became more and more wonderful. What an amazing place. Both Dallas and I found ourselves just staring around instead walking like we were supposed to. My mouth dropped to the floor at the Celestial Room. There are not words to describe its beauty.

   San Diego Zoo was also a big blast. I still feel guilty for not taking my two sweet little boys, but I need a break once in a while. And I watched other parents with small children that were flying and it looked like such fun. Especially in the airport when all they want to do is run or scream. I guess I am glad we got the week without them.

Shammoo Show at Sea World.
I wonder if they got rid of Shammoo cause no one mentioned the name this time. And there are two whales, not just one. Very confusing.....so all I want to know is what happened to our beloved Shammoo?

Feeding the sea lions. They are the best. They will just sit in front of you with their mouth hanging open making the most annoying sound. They make the same sound for as long as they can and then by that point another, bigger dude is taking over the spot.

We found the back side of Shammoo's tank. It was pretty cool to be able to watch as the whale would swim past. Pretty awesome tank. Huge! Now is this Shammoo or a look alike?

The Zoo!

There is an awesome Rhino in the back drop. He put on quite the show for us. First he peed for over a minute. And this wasn't normal little streams of pee, it was like a fire hose for the entire time.Both Dallas and I couldn't keep walking or moving because we just had to watch as it just kept going. Then we watched him get in the water and take a bath. It was a beautiful day and then his brother also decided to take a pee and go for a bath. Quite the show!  

I love a peacock. They don't just have a tail that you can't keep your eyes off of, but they have gaudy detail everywhere. They have a beautiful color of blue for their long slender neck and if that isn't enough they have a plume on top for added flair. How exciting!

I stopped and talked to this beautiful bird for a while. He was just so friendly. No one else was around and he definitely likes cameras.

Here are just a few more photos of things we found and loved at the zoo. Here is a great one of the gorillas. They just have that look to them. If you make another wrong move I will tear you apart.

I love Kuala Bears. I always thought that President Hinkley looked just like one. My only and favorite stuffed bear was a Kuala bear that I named BeBe. I still have him. 

Here are the best animals of all. We took this picture right next to the flamingos because when we were there 5 years ago, we took a picture at this same spot.

Our Hotel View. So wonderful. Ocean all around us!
