A blizzard began as we were leaving Rexburg around 2pm on Saturday and lasted until just past Idaho Falls. It took us almost an hour to get to Idaho Falls instead of the usual 20mins because of it. We stopped in Provo for the rest of the weekend and Miri and I stayed with her sister and brother-in-law, Ruth and Jared, and their brand new baby girl Marianne. She is the cutest baby I have ever seen (next to baby Aidan of course). Miri and I didn't take any pictures but we plan to when we stop there on the way back. While I was there I ran into Emi at the creamery and was able to have dinner with her and Trevor Sunday evening. The best thing was Trevor called Sister Quiner on his phone and I got to talk to both her and Dr. Quiner! I miss the Quiner family so much! It was so wonderful to be able to catch up with them.
Monday morning bright and early we continued our journey to San Diego. It was snowing almost the entire way there, even in Vegas and Southern California if you can believe it! But we did finally arrive at about 5-5:30pm. Yesterday Miri and I took it easy and cleaned and decorated the house with Celeste and had lunch with her mom and Esther and just generally had a really good day. Then today we drove into San Diego to Hyrum and Tiffany's. We visited for about an hour and then Hyrum took us to Balboa park where we spent the day while he took Rachel to the zoo.
Miri and I had a blast at Balboa park despite the rain. It even let up for about half an hour and we got some really great pictures. We did the free museum, the Timken Art Museum, and then the Spanish Art Village (I think that's what it's called), and mainly wandered around a lot. Then Hyrum picked us up and we're currently baby-sitting little Rachel while he and Tiffany celebrate their three year anniversary at The Cheesecake Factory. Miri and I have an awesome day planned for tomorrow, but for now I'll just post pics of Balboa Park and our night with Rachel.
