From coast to coast!

After our vacation to Boston we headed to LA for some seriously needed R&R. Preston spent his days inside at the famous Hotel Del Coronado learning about boring medical stuff. Lame. I spent my days soaking up the rays, chillin by the pool, and strollin down the streets of Coronado island. We spent our nights eating DELICIOUS food! First night we got some burgers. MEGA delish. I tried my first turkey burger and it freaking rocked! wow. crazy good. It was packed with fresh basil and topped with grilled onions. wow. Second night we got a full meal at 3 different restaurants. For starters we got some $.99 tacos, our entree was at Yummy Sushi, and for dessert we made the terrible mistake of settling for yogurt escape. A pathetic version of yogurtland, but after sampling EVERY flavor we felt obligated to buy something. Our last night we hit up lil' piggy's BBQ. Super delicious bacon wrapped jalapenos stuffed with deliciousness. Shut up. For dessert we had a surprisingly yummy cheesecake cupcake and a snickers carmel apple. Duh. We also got some AMAZING gelato our last afternoon there and lamented over not going there EVERYDAY! We've decided that our first order of business when we get to texas will be starting our own gelateria! Which will never make a profit because I will eat it all! To help offset our dinner splurges we ate PB&J's for all our other meals :)
Ok enough about the food....we also did some fun sightseeing! Ruby had her first beach visit. Although we had GREAT weather at the hotel, once we got closer to the beach the wind made things a little chilly, but that didn't stop Ruby from gettin' her beach on! She absolutely LOVED playing in the sand and only ate one handful! I'm not sure if she liked the freezing cold water but she definitely had fun knocking down all of daddy's sand castles! We also had a chance to drive out to the San Diego temple. SO gorgeous. I always wanted to get married there but it wouldn't have been even remotely convenient. It was fun to finally see it in person. spectacular. We took about a hundred million pics like this trying to get a good one of us AND the temple...this is the best we could do....This was the moment we realized that the case I bought Preston for his iphone causes the pics to look terrible like this...NOOOOOOOO Such a fun trip full of friends, family, food, relaxing, and SUNSHINE! Ruby gives it a big thumbs up!

Love the picture of her feet in the air. And the picture before that, sitting in the wet sand, I swear she looks like Uncle George. Man I hope our little guy is as cute as Ruby.

Yeah... can't wait for grand child #4 to appear. Then we'll wait and see who has #5... Lori or Annette. Ruby is so cute in her little swimsuit. She will have so much fun this summer at the beach.

So I've had people say that she looks like Tim, I think she looks like Toshi, and now we've got Uncle George in the mix...things aren't looking good for this girl's future!
