Exploring in San Diego

The boys aboard an aircraft carrier. They felt like little pilots. They got to get into airplanes and climb all through the giant ship. It was great!

Does the salute look authentic? I don't know, the bracelet throws it off a little.
Enjoying the ocean breeze.
Rock climbers....rock squaters....It's all fun when you're on the ocean.
My first time seeing the San Diego Temple up close! Beautiful!
WARNING: A bit graphic. While exploring San Diego we went to the Museum of Natural History where they had Body Worlds on exhibit. WOW! This was amazing. It really is a must see. The human body is so amazing and truly this exhibit made us all more grateful for the wonderful gift that the human body really is.
On our walk I found myself pretending to be a professional photographer just trying to capture a little bit of the beauty that was surrounding us. From the flowers to the fish, to the architecture and the fountains, this place was great to explore.
Posing for the camera.
They were hoping the museum would come to life after dark!
We were not sure how many days off Bryce would be able to have this summer with changing to a new office and all, so we decided to milk the last bit of vacation for all it's worth. We headed to San D for a quick exploration to some places we've not yet visited. We went to the Maritime Museum and toured 2 submarines, a pirate ship, and lots of fun boats. We finished the tour on an aircraft carrier that was probably the size of Blythe! We found a great Museum and spent half the day viewing "plastecized" cadavers! Now that's an adventure. After a few full days of fun and adventure we asked the boys what their favorite part was and they both agreed it was seeing the Temple. It was a great getaway!
