Spring Break 2011

We took a really fun trip to San Diego, California for Spring Break. The really sad part is that I forgot my battery charger and so when my camera died on the first day, that was that. Darn! Anyway, we went to the San Diego Zoo Wild Animal Safari Park, the Beach, Sunset Cliffs, Coronado, San Diego Temple, Mormon Battalion Museum, a showing of "Soul Surfer", Sunset Cliffs, Old Town San Diego, Little Italy, and Sea World. Rich joined us for half of the trip, so that made it extra fun. We got to see Steffi run at Mt SAC. The boys played basketball and pool and ping pong and ran, and we just plain had a wonderful time together. I'm so sad that I didn't get pictures. So, I'll have to remember what fun we all had, instead. Here are the boys at the Zoo.


Great.... I'm Gorilla-sized.

Girl's Trip

I got to go on a really fun Girl's Trip with my mom and my sisters. We went to Disneyland for a couple of days, hung out together at a hotel, and spent a day with my aunt and her family. It was SO fun to see each other and have such a great time together. This is me with DeeAnn. I don't get to see her very often because she lives so far away, so it was such a treat to spend 4 whole days with her!
Here I am with Dee and my mom and Mickey!

TOWER OF TERROR!!!

Choir Tour in San Franciso

I got to go along with Alex and his awesome high school choir on their Tour to San Francisco. Everything was SO much fun! The only bummer was the really LONG bus ride! Other than that, we had a very fun trip. Here is a picture of a giant poster on the wall of the eerie Alcatraz Prison museum. It was a cold, dark, and scary place to be.


A view of Alcatraz Island, from the ferry boat we were traveling on, across a mile and a half of freezing cold water.


Me and Al, outside of a high school, where the choir had just performed.



We went on a fun dinner Cruise! This is me with some of my roommates and new friends.

Choir Tour

We went to an Art Museum. Here is Al... "Thinking".

St Ignacius Church, where the Choir sang for a couple of Catholic Masses.

A Planetarium, where we saw a movie on a giant screen about the formation of Earth.
