Well we decided to celebrate our Anniversary & take a Holiday in
beautiful San Diego. We woke early friday morning & found our way to the rolling hills of California & the beautiful San Diego Temple set on a hill. What are the chances, when in the chapel, Kelly spotted a fellow
co-worker that sits five desks up from him at work. Kelly hadn't known he was a member. But there he was with his wife, on the very same day & session we
we in at the San Diego Temple. Amazing things happen!!!!
The temple was beautiful inside with wide curving staircases &
the Celestial room opens up, up, up, into a 2 story vaulted ceiling
with lots of white & cream stained glass windows & patterns of
the Star of David worked into it. There were beams of light streaming through
the stain glass windows & four hanging chandaliers. Awsome!!
The Temple was beautiful in the day with it's white walls & spires & even more beautiful at night shining up there on the hill. We saw it both ways!! And
we're only one more temple visit away from doing all the sealings for 15 family
members on Kelly's side of the family. A great feeling!!
In the evening we dined at the "El Prado Restuarant" in Balboa Park, supposed to be one of the most Romantic Restuarants in San Diego. We dined at dusk, under candle light in
the courtyard overlooking a beautiful garden where a wedding had just
taken place. They were still taking pictures of the weddding party, so we
were entertained while waiting for our meal.. There was an artist at his
easle to oneside painting the garden scene & wedding party in it. I guess
that's all the new rage now! I had a fancy pork entre`with mashed sweet
potatoes with beans & fresh sweet corn on top. Kelly had some sort of
fancy steak with sauce, green beans & fancy potatoes. Yummy!!!
The grounds were beautiful, wished we had more time to explore!
