Rosarito Beach

it all sums up for a wonderful weekend.

we left early friday morning and headed over to san diego to do a session

at the temple. WOW! the temple is amazing!

my parents took us to the open house in 1992, so i hadn't been inside

since i was ten, and dave had never even seen it.

we were in awe the entire time- it is beautiful!

i missed my jenna desperately the first day, and a little the next; but after an

hour long massage (for only $30! dave got one too), hours at the pool,

and plenty of carne asado, i realized i was having a great time.

dave loves the ocean, so he was all smiles all weekend.

this is the view from our balcony. the resort is beautiful! you can walk right to the beach.

*if you have a passport, we would love for you to come with us. we could bbq and have a great time! all our the rooms have 2 bedrooms (one king bed in one, and 2 twins in the other) with a sleeper sofa, 2 bathrooms and a full kitchen. we only ate out for 2 meals on our 3 night there, and were able to cook/ reheat for the other meals.*

this is where we sat to watch the ocean. the water was freezing, of course, but

it was so nice to sit and listen. we read and just sat alot this last weekend.

dave actually pointed out some dolphins one time,

and i just barely got to see them. wow!

here is my bearded beach hunk. he calls it his 'vacation beard', and i am

surprisingly not as anxious as normal for it to disappear.

the first morning we walked about 2 miles down the beach and across the pier. the weather was fantastic! who would have thought to visit the beach in january!? but because it was the off season, there were no crowds. it was great. the pool and beaches were never crowded. it was sunny and clear most of the day, and we were able to spend many hours in/ by the heated pool.

we took a drive down the coast one day, and saw some beautiful country side.

jenna had a great time with her grandma and grandpa. she was a doll for them and they were sad to see her go. i was glad that we didn't hit any traffic past the border- the 6 hour trip home seemed to take forever for me! i wanted to squeeze her so badly. she showered us with just the right amount of hugs and kisses upon our return... and i can tell she is just as happy to be home with her mom and dad as her mom and dad are to be home with her. dave mentioned last night as we finally made it all the way back home that jenna did look different after not seeing her for nearly 4 whole days... so he was kinda beginning to understand what i was so worried about. :)

maybe i won't wait 15 months to leave the next one...
