Spring Break 2025

 A couple weeks ago we had spring break, where we shared a house in San Diego with 2 other families for a couple of days (Sunday night through Wednesday morning).  The house itself was pretty fun, with a tennis and basketball court (which we used for volleyball), a pool and hot tub, putting green, grill, and outdoor seating to just relax or take in the view.  The weather was pretty nice.  We played some games and hide 'n seek in the dark, watched movies, hung out, and had spiritual devotionals every evening.  We grilled hamburgers, had nachos and taco salad, along with ice cream sundaes, baked oatmeal, french toast, bacon & eggs, pizza, and ate out for lunch at a Mexican restaurant one day.  We each have a missionary out right now, so we chatted with them on Monday at various times.  Also on Monday, we went to Cabrillo National Monument, where we explored the tide pools and hiked around, went to a lighthouse, and enjoyed nature and wildlife.  On Tuesday, we headed to Balboa Park and wandered around, ate out for lunch, and went to the Mormon Battalion.  We also found a Lego store that was popular with some of the crowd.  On Wednesday morning, we packed up and headed to Newport Beach Temple (San Diego is closed right now).  It was a nice few days to spend with friends!  We pretty much tried to spend as little as possible on this vacation, so we didn't do any of the expensive activities in San Diego.

I made a little video compilation of our outings.  My friend Alison probably will make a much better one since she took more video along the way, but this one mostly captures our nature day with a little mix of Weston's running videos. He had a Mission Impossible running thing going on, but intense music didn't fit very well with my peaceful nature videos!  It's a little amusing though, because it looks like he's trying to run away from everything else to finally get to the Lego Store.
