the Honeymoon ~ San Diego


For our honeymoon we decided to go to San Diego! It was b-e-a-utiful , sunny & 70 the entire trip!

This is within a couple of hours of getting to our hotel at the Grande Plaza. Thanks to some help, we got a sweet suite!

This picture shows 1 of 2 rooms we had, This one is the suite addition. It included a bar area, couches, dining room table and beds and bath. The other room was a typical bed and bath!

We were fortunate enough to be  in town the same weekend as the San Diego Padres! The stadium was massive, we had killer front row seats, and even got our churro (even if it was rock solid).


It was a busy but super fun honeymoon. We made sure to visit the Wild Animal Park and found these rare and vicious birds called "ducks". I barely made it out with my fingers! Although they were not quite that fierce, they were plenty of fun to feed!

Ryan really seemed to enjoy the Ape Exhibit at the Wild Animal Park.. I can't help but think that he resembles them in this picture.. 

We were literally inches away from one female lion! As shown in this picture, the only thing separating the humans from the lions was a wall of glass. "Nice Kitty!"

We made the effort to visit the San Diego LDS Temple (which is my absolute favorite one).

The San Diego LDS Temple. It happened to be under construction while we were there, but none-the-less, even with construction it has a certain 'awe' about it.

It was our visit to Sea World that caused Ryan to decide he needed a bigger aquarium, and me to regret taking him! We saw the Shamu show (from the dry section) and were astounded at his acrobatic abilities.

There were many exhibits in Sea World that allowed you to pick-up and pet animals, including this starfish!

We made sure to visit the sandy beaches in San Diego a couple of times. This particular time, the Tide was moving in and the sun setting. It was different enjoying our time, sitting on large rocks, watching the waves crash in. Wouldn't trade it for anything!



The last day of the trip, we got a shot of us in our bride/groom hats. The beach that we're at had so much going on around it! There were restaurants, games, a roller coaster, small rides and little shops that were filling the air with an inviting tune.
