These are only a few of MANY pictures, but you get the idea of how much driving we did. We took two days driving down through New Mexico and Arizona to arrive at our first destination, the San Diego Temple. Avery had told us that she wanted to see as many temples as we could on our drive, so we took a few detours to see some, but also had to miss a few temples due to weather.
We went to Knott's Berry Farm the next day with Eric's sister & her family. We were lucky enough to have Eric's parents & youngest sister to surprise us down there, too! Well, we had a head's up, but the kids were surprised! The kids had so much fun spending time with their cousins they don't see very often.
The next day & on our way out of Southern California, we stopped at the Los Angeles Temple.
Then we made a beach stop in Santa Barbara after lunch (at In-N-Out, of course). It was foggy, but I think it made for some cool pictures. I love this one of three generations of Morris boys with near perfect reflections.
My messy baby boy loved the sand and mud, but wasn't a big fan of the waves.
Avery is always up for digging & making stuff in the sand & finding bugs.
Eden went from clean to a churro pretty quickly, but always with a beautiful smile on her face!
Aunt Jamie's wedding day at the Oakland Temple.
All 10 of the granddaughters!
The boys are
definitely outnumbered!
The happy newlyweds!

Climbing around in the Redwoods & Wyatt with the death grip on my neck.
We had one relaxing day of watching General Conference before we went to San Fransisco on Monday. We took BART into the city & then took the trolley to Fisherman's Wharf. All of those times to San Fran & this was my first time on a trolley!
Fisherman's Wharf with sea lions to the left, Alcatraz & the Golden Gate bridge behind us.
We began making our way home & stopped to see the Reno Temple.
Our last stop was in Salt Lake before returning home. We spent the majority of the day walking around Temple Square, the Conference Center & stopping in on a whim to watch the new Joseph Smith movie. It was a wonderful vacation full of great memories! And the kids were SO good for all 53 hours in the car!
