San Diego Trip

Jolena and I went to San Diego this past week. Here are some of our pictures.

Temple, its very nice. ( I hope you guys like the awesome lens-flare in that picture)

Jolena, outside of the temple looking quite cute as she chats with her Aunt Bianca.

Cool Flower at Balboa Park

Same as above. But different flower, the same caption applies.

A rather odd yellow bird.

Another Flower at Balboa.

The fake looking sunset in San Diego (taken from inside the Padre's Stadium)

Jolena and her Grandma Kitty. Yeah, she's 83 and a die-hard Padre's fan. She enjoyed getting our to the game.

I took a long walk to the far side of the stadium to get some cool pictures of the game and notice an orange dot right about where I was previously sitting. It's Jolena wearing my orange sweater. You can see her just to the right of the foul marker. (Yeah, we had good seats)

A Victoria Crowned Pidgeon at the Wild Animal Park. (That's about the same size of pidgeons we get in Nevada, just kidding this thing is the size of a medium sized turkey)

A cheetah, right before feeding time. That's why she was moving around at all.

A cool little gazelle type deal. This guys just about the same size as my aunt and uncle's Italian Greyhound Stella.

Please note that the sign says that it's OKAY to touch, so I did.

What's wrong with this snake? Correct, the head is not connected. Jolena's uncle, JP, killed this rattle snake, not because he hates snakes or any thing like that, but where they live, they really don't have another resource for when there is a poisonous serpent in their backyard. It was kinda gruesome.



So, it was a great trip. Much fun was had by all, and I want to thank Jolena's awesome family members who made our stay so much easier; Mike and Bianca, JP and Maria, and Grandma Kitty. You guys are great!

Ps we also went to the beach, and to a few muesums at Balboa, took a tour with Mike and Bianca of down town SD, but we didn't any pictures from those events. :(
