Cali Continued..

So a few other things to share on our trip.

At well known Coronado Beach, the rocks were very pretty!

Showing the Coronado Beach famous hotel.

Pretty plants were everywhere in California! This picture doesn't even do it justice.

In LA, we went to Warner Brother's Studios and got to tour a lot of really cool sets/scenes from lots of cool movies and tv shows..this is the couch/cafe on FRIENDS! :)

We went to a Padres game and we weren't drenched from heat!

Californ-ya!!!! Californ-yaaa!!! (...Need to know OC)

Well as most of you may know, it was our One Year Anniversary on June 26th! YAY!!
So we went to San Diego, California/Los Angeles for our trip. LOTS of fun!!
Our flight back home landed at DFW late last night and of course, I wanted to pick up Molly and Heidi immediately so we drove to Fort Worth around 11:30 pm to get them before heading back to our house.
I was so glad to see those sweet little girls!! :)
We didn't get back home until 3 am this morning, so after some much needed sleep I am now ready to share some of the fun things we did!
First thing when we arrived in LA, we drove to Redondo Beach where they did some of the filming for the OC. We had some great breakfast at what is known as "The Diner" in the OC but there at Redondo Beach it is actually called "Redondo Coffee Shop". Very fun experience for us because we watched all of The OC and so it was really neat to sit in the same booths of where they were!

Another fun thing we did was visit the great and famous San Diego Zoo! :) Wow, it sure is WONDERFUL there! If you haven't been yet, you need to make sure to visit this place it was so neat!
We literally got there right at opening, 9 AM and then stayed all the way until 8 PM! Here are a few pictures of the greatness there!

One of the many signs at the entrance!

They had two pandas out at the time, this is one that we watched for a while just eating bamboo. :)

Me a little nervous on the sky tram they had there! It was so neat riding up way high above the whole Zoo! :)

A momma and her baby elephant! :)

Two of the three polar bears they have there. The one up closer is going to have babies soon! :)

Sean with the giraffes in the background. The baby one there when born was 6 ft 1 and weighed 10 lbs! (WHEN BORN!)

I am fascinated by the Galapagos Tortoise! They had about 15 and this one here is at least 150 years old! They all live so long and can go a whole year without eating or drinking!!






More to come soon on the Cali trip! :)

Start of Something New..

Alright friends, so I have been thinking a lot this past school year about how I want to start a blog of my own. I spend most of my time (when not teaching) looking at all these awesome teaching blogs or cooking blogs. Mine will not be specific to either of those, mine will be just literally whatever I feel like blogging about. :)
I remember my plan for my first year of teaching was to create a blog where I would post daily and it could be viewed by parents, families, and friends...yeah well that didn't work out much. at all!
So I will try my best to make this work, and what better time to start it than SUMMER!! :)
Happy Blogging! :)
