Girls Trip 2010

This past weekend I got to go spend 4 wonderful days with my mom and sisters in San Diego...I can't even begin to tell you how much fun it was. Even traveling there was delightful because I had no kids. Just me and the latest David Baldacci book. The whole trip was relaxing and enjoyable and just flat out FUN. There are no better relationships than those you have with your family I think. We laughed so much together we were sobbing and almost peeing our pants on more than one occasion. It was so much fun. Anyway, I flew out early Thursday morning and returned late Monday night so David had a good 5 days with just the girls. They had a great time together and I think David managed pretty well. He did write me a sweet note while I was gone and part of it said "I have come to realize with you being gone that a man is supposed to be working and doing man things and a woman is supposed to be nurturing and loving to the kids ALL day long. And then Dad just comes home after work and eats and plays with the kids...I like that role." Then he said he was overwhelmed and tired without me. It's good to feel loved and needed:) ANyway, here are a few pictures from our trip...I was waiting to post these because I need to get some pictures from my sis but she hasn't emailed them yet (hint hint) so these will have to do for now...

We actually stayed about an hour outside of San Diego in a little mountain town called Julian. It was this cute, quaint town and was very quiet and peaceful. This is the view from near the cabin.
The first day we were there, we went running on a trail around the lake that was supposed to be a 3. 5 mile loop. Well we definitely must have taken a few detours because 2 hours later we were just barely reaching the road to go up to our cabin. It was some dirty terrain we got ourselves into and our feet and legs showed it! Doesn't it look like hair growing on our legs? Sick!
The cabin had a hot tub on the back deck, so we definitely took advantage of that at night!
We did a session in the San Diego Temple...(Cheyenne, my mom, me, cute pregnant Sienna)
Spent time relaxing at the beach....We did brave the water for swimming on another day, but didn't last long because my sister saw a sting ray! Yikes!
Shopped in Julian at the little boutique shops...
Ate yummy food at different local restaurants...
Shopped around in Seaport Village...
Learned cute new hair-dos from my sister Sienna...

More shopping in La Jolla Village...
This was after church...we stopped at the lake for a bit...sorry about the angle...you can only do so much when you are setting a self timer!
I guess that's about it! We had the greatest time! It was good to come home to my little family here but a very rejuvenating and well deserved vacation for me!
