For Mark and I’s 5th Anniversary we headed to San Francisco and absolutely loved it! We decided YEARS ago that we really wanted to go on a trip for our five year anniversary and I am beyond happy that we have actually done it. Mark had never been to San Francisco before and I had …
After we ate our lunch we left Moab and began our trek further south. We always try and stop on our vacations and see the temple. Seeing as our trip this year was to Utah we knew we had many to choose from. We stopped in Monticello and saw the temple that is there. Neither Mark or …
Later today we drove over to the Columbus Ohio Temple. It’s a beautiful temple but it is oh so tiny! I don’t think I have ever seen such a small temple. But, of course, it was beautiful and I am sure a tremendous blessing to all those that live here in Ohio. It is their …
Horsethief Lake After that we headed to Mount Rushmore National Memorial. It had been raining all day, but luckily it started to clear up while we were at the Crazy Horse Memorial. We stopped at Horsethief Lake on our way up and it was beautiful. It’s just a small little lake on your way up …
Next we drove over to the Crazy Horse Memorial. This was actually something we hadn’t planned on going to, but once we got here, decided that it was worth stopping at. I honestly knew NOTHING about who Crazy Horse was or anything about this memorial prior but it also proved to be really interesting. A …
Tuesday we left around noon and headed up north. Our trip up was pretty uneventful – which is probably a good thing. We arrived in Hill City, South Dakota a little after six that evening and found a little restaurant to eat at. We got all checked-in and settled in our hotel for the night. …
We woke up early and drove up to Grand Canyon National Park. Mark had never been there before and I hadn’t been to the South Rim before – and it was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! It was in the 60’s both days we were there and it was PERFECT! We took so many pictures of tons of different …
After the temple we changed in the visitor’s center back into our regular clothes, stopped and ate at IN- N-OUT and then drove back into Phoenix to go to an Arizona Diamondback‘s game. I had never been to an actual “professional” baseball game. But I LOVED IT! I spent the majority of my time figuring …
Then we hurried over that afternoon to go over to the Mesa Arizona Temple. I LOVED IT! They didn’t have anyone helping with sealings so we actually ended up doing sealings instead of a session. It was the first time Mark and I have been able to do them together and it was great. We …
Apparently the Phoenix Zoo is one of the top five zoo’s in the nation for kids and it REALLY was fun! We didn’t really take any pictures of us at the zoo, but we took lots of the animals. I love that Mark likes to read all of the information with me and so neither …
