San Diego, CA Day 1

We are having a blast in California with: Grandpa Bernaden, Mom and Dad Palick, Jared and Brittney, Pete and I, Melissa and Jordan, Angie and Courtney, Anna, Carrie, and Patrick! Lots of people, but lots of fun.

First off, we miss our Daisy girl, Bonnie (my co-worker) is watching her, but we sure do miss her.


We stopped in St. George to stay with Melissa and Jordan, then headed our early Sat morning and we went to the Hoover Dam. Not what I expected, but still really awesome to see! Take a look at the bridge they are building below, it was HUGE!!!


The bridge that is suppose to be done in September!


We walked around Seaport village while waiting for everyone's flight to get in and went shops and saw some pretty cool things - see below!


Incredible bird guy, Melissa was holding them and talking with them, one ended up biting her!


Guy that balanced these stones on top of one another! You can do almost anything on the streets to make money. We saw a couple of magicians, a guy that did tricks with fire, a palm reader, piano player etc...


Fishing boat we say and you can also see the USS Midway air craft carrier that we are going to tour later this week.


While we were still waiting...we found these people who were setting up these ropes to practice tight rope walking. Peter and Melissa tried it and it was very awesome!




We went to an authentic Italian restaurant and ordered take out (most expensive Pizza I have ever bought, but really delicious) and while we were waiting, Melissa decided to entertain the folks there with her amazing piano skills!


Our hotel in San Diego with everyone (well most everyone)...we are having a blast!


Agenda for today...go and meet Pete's mission president and then tomorrow is the La Jolla bike ride and then off to New Port Beach for lots of more fun!

Stay tuned....
