Getting Back Into the Swing of Things

Well, we are back from an amazing Spring Break! After getting soaked, but having an amazing day at the Golden Gate Bridge, Cable Car Museum, Etc...we relaxed for one more night before heading back to San Jose. We finished up our break with a visit to the Monteray Bay Aquarium, which is basically the best aquarium in the U.S. I (Deanna) absolutely loved it and really enjoyed the touch pools where I got to pet Sting Rays, Sea Cucumbers, Star Fish, Crabs, and other neat sea creatures!

We drove Highway 1 and 17, both of which were beautiful, but I got super car-sick on H-17 because it was so curvy. We finished out by traveling to a little town called Capitola-so cool! It was an old seaside village, and we got some sweet pictures! We also found a shop there where an Indian man was selling jewelry for $1.00 each! Wohoo! You can bet I hit that up ha ha. Friday Night we had an African food dinner party with a family from Sierra Leone (where Quinn served his mission) and the Michael family (They are the family we stayed with, Quinn Served with Ryan). Saturday was spent flying back to Utah, chillaxing in St. George, and watching Brady's baseball Tournament.

Cool Shark with Glowing Eyes!

Had to coax Quinn, but he finally touched the Sting Ray!

Getting in touch with my inner Mermaid

This bird wouldn't fly away and I was literally 5 inches from its face

The most Saltwater Taffy Ever!

He wasn't smiling once it was in his mouth.

Stockton Ave and the Jazz! Go Jazz!!!

Only 6 more weeks left in the semester, and both of us are chomping at the bit to get it over with! Spring Break was great, and now we are ready to head towards Summer! Soon we shall be singing "What time is it?! It's our vacation!!"

What a day! Rained the entire time down here in San Fran! Deanna and I rode the buses all over the city from the Golden Gate Park to the Golden Gate Bridge. We got soaked from the rain. It was a lot of fun to hit up China Town. I couldn't get Deanna to eat any food because she was worried she would get sick if she ate any.

Cold and windy day at the Bridge!

China Town!!! Deanna wouldn't go in haha!

Cable Car Museum.

Oldest House in San Francisco

Finally in San Fran!!!!!!!!!!

What a wonderful day. The Steed family has let us crash a few days in their downtown San Fran apartment. Deanna and I started our morning out right. We went down to Ghirardelli Square and saw how they make their chocolate. We of course had everything from crab to fried fish and sour dough clam chowder. Today was Deanna's first time ever at Alcatraz Prison. After our amazing tour we got to ride the cable car around town and see some amazing scenery. We're hoping the weather warms up a bit so we can ride a bike across the Golden Gate Bridge tomorrow.
