Rose Parade/Temple Tour

It's not everyday that two 23 year olds get to go on vacation with a bus full of senior citizens! We are so thankful for this opportunity that we had! We got to know a lot of great people and it was great to get away for a few days! Thank you Knight Tours & Cruises! 
Here we are on the bus--just starting the journey!

We met up with some friends in St. George and they took us up to Dixie rock for the great picture!

Day #2 we headed from St. George to San Diego. This was Kelly's first time in Nevada. Here are some pictures of Vegas (not NYC)


Kelly was sick for most of the trip :( It was sad to see. Here he is sleeping on the bus!

Our hotel was in Little Italy and we ate at this great little restaurant...there was a line down the block to get into it! Due to Kelly being sick he ate 1/2 slice of pizza..I out-ate him most days


Day #3-San Diego 

Hotel Del Coronado 

We go to touch the ocean!


One of my favorite movies was filmed here, "Some Like It Hot"


We built this awesome sand castle....just kidding





The San Diego temple is something out of this world! It is 100x prettier on the inside!





Day #4 San Diego Zoo

Me with my favorite animals!



This little jaguar was my favorite! We bonded!

Lazy lions! I love her tongue hanging out!



Ever been this close to a hippo?! Don't worry, there is glass there!




Here is my favorite picture of the jaguar! She is so pretty, I just wanted to give her a hug!

Sun bear

This is how we spent New Years! It was actually really fun!


Day #5-New Years!
Here is Kelly at the Rose Bowl Parade taking pictures of our group with everyone's cameras! They loved Kelly and put him to work since he is so young!


After the parade we got to go check out all the floats! Holy cow, I appreciate the hard work that goes into them a whole lot more!


The Knights in front of the Knight!

Day #6 we went to the Huntington Gardens. Kelly and I had a competition to see who could get the best pictures...he won by a landslide! PS I don't have any of his pictures on here...yet!

The L.A. Temple was so so pretty too. We had some great experiences there!
