Hey, JetBlue opened up flights from SLC to San Diego and San Francisco and so being crazy and spontaneous, we decided to hop aboard a flight to S. F. for fun this week. It was a great little get-a-way for us. (Spur of the moment is the only way we seem to do anything around here!) Vaughn loved flexing his "free flying priviledge" muscles as it was the first time the kids have been able to take advantage of that and also by making sure the flight attendants kept the goodies comming. (Now, can anyone tell me how to make the rest of the trip free?!!) Anyway, we had a great time visiting Walnut Creek just outside of S.F. where Vaughn grew up and seeing his childhood home, church, schools and the Oakland Temple. While driving through his old neighborhood, the kids were quick to notice and had to point out that Vaughn's paper route did NOT seem to go up hill both ways! We also went to Pier 39 and ate at a fancy resturant where the kids could look out over the water and see the seals. We did some shopping and bought matching sweatshirts as it was actually cool as we walked around. Of course, we had to go to the beach! Getting wet is always the best part of any vacation, followed closely by jumping from bed to bed in the hotel! We had a great time!
Looking in the doors of Vaughns church. The kids were wondering if Dad's benches were as hard and uncomfortable as theirs!
Vaughns childhood home.... oh the sweet memories!
