Cali Adventures

     Since Tyler and I have moved down here we've acted like tourist and visited the touristy places. We have been the San Diego Temple a couple of times and it is breathtaking.  While here we have also visited a couple of the beaches in San Diego, at Mission Beach we even rode the roller coaster on the pier.  Old Town was fun to walk through all the little shops and learn history about the city of San Diego. One of the more exciting things we did was visited the USS Midway off of the San Diego harbor.  The ship is HUGE and honestly makes me a little claustrophobic walking through the small hallways.  It was interesting to see the planes and helicopters that they use on those ships, Tyler loved listening to the pilots stories.

  On the 4th of July we went to Palm Springs and went to the outlets and the Aerial Tramway, it was super cool.  The tramway slowly spins in 360 degree circles as we climb up the mountain, once there there is a restaurant and several hiking trails.  It was beautiful, later that night we went and watched fire works, although there was no rodeo it was still a pretty good 4th of July. 

     Yuma was a little disappointing, for some reason Tyler and I thought that there would be a lot to do in Yuma but sadly there wasn't.  The main thing that Yuma has is a jail that has been turned into a national park.  It was pretty cool, there was one room that I refused to go into.  This room has only 1 door and no windows, and is completely dark, it is where they put the more rambunctious prisoners.  It gave me a weird feeling.  Tyler went in and all he said was that it was really dark.

Since Tyler works most Saturdays we don't get out of the Valley much but when we do we go all out and make it worth it.
