Our favorites from each other:
*Ari - a gorgeous purple pea coat from Jeff ... and a beautiful coordinating scarf
*Jeff - Yellow I-pod ... need I say more?
*Ellie - Peanut Butter treats (I would say her new sweater, but she spends more time trying to get out of it than she does actually wearing it)
Our parents/family members were all very generous and we got so many fun gifts! A big thank you to everyone!!
Then we went to San Diego for a little getaway just the two of us. It was lots of fun!
We loved:
*Coronado Island ... we went 3 times!! Such a beautiful beach! We walked down in eating the most delicious ice cream ... and had to go back to see the Christmas lights ... and again just to walk the ocean. Fun fact: There is an ICE SKATING rink on the beach. It's tiny ... but wow. We were going to ice skate, just to say we did. Then we found out it would have cost $50. Call us cheap, but for some reason that just didn't sound like a good idea.
*Putting our toes in the sand ... it is so relaxing
*Eating at In N Out Burger ... twice!
*The San Diego temple - SO beautiful!! Nice little old lady temple workers are the same everywhere, which is so comforting isn't it?
*Little Italy ... very tasty!
*Old Town ... this is where they claim California began. Side note: There is a cool Mormon Battalion history site (I have been before) so Jeff and I went looking for it. It wasn't where it was a few years ago ... so figuring we were lost we asked. Apparently they leveled it to re-build (we did see the hole). So if you are going in the near future strike that off the must see list :)
Strange things we noticed about CA:
*Orange Cars are popular. We had an orange rental car. I thought, wow, they must have made this a rental because it is such an ugly color no one would by it. I was wrong. There were several types in the SAME and other shades of ORANGE. Wow.
*They also believe that snow boots and pea coats are winter fashion. They just missed the memo that 60 degree weather does NOT call for said clothing. I'll admit it was chilly, but no where close to that chilly.
*In N Out is ALWAYS busy. I figured it was because I always went to them in places where it is the only one. But they are everywhere in California and still insane and all hours of the day.
*They haven't heard that smoking is really, really bad for you ... detrimental even.
Overall we had a wonderful Christmas break ... some much needed R&R. Now it's back to work for us!

Sometimes I am sad that there is no In N Out with in thousands of miles of me. Glad you had a fun vacation!

I gotta say that Ellie is the cutest dog in that sweater. :)
