Spring Break

Spring Break was great. We started by driving to Medford, OR for the weekend. On Monday morning we headed down to California. For lunch we stopped at In-N-Out Burgers. Mary Jo had never been to one before. We stayed in Gridley just north of Sacramento. We relaxed on Tuesday and went to a movie with my Sister's family. We saw Race to Witch Mountain. It was good. Wednesday Mary Jo and i went to San Francisco. We started by going to the Oakland Temple. In San Francisco we went to Fisherman's Wharf, Golden Gate Park, and Ocean Beach. We even drove across the Golden Gate Bridge.


Thursday we spent in Sacramento. We spent the afternoon in Old Sacramento visiting the shops. We went to dinner at Fanny Ann's. After dinner we went to the Sacramento Temple and performed inititories.




Friday was spent in traveling back to and in Medford. Since we did not leave Gridley until noon we got to Medford just in time for a late lunch. Next Mary Jo and i went to the Medford Temple for an Endowment session. It is such a wonderful blessing to spend time in the Temple with Mary Jo. We then joined my parents for dinner at Silver Dragon. Easily the best Chinese food in the Rogue Valley. We went back to my parents. Mary Jo was heading out to do some laundry and fell down the last step. After she got a blessing we took her to the ER. She sprained her left ankle, broke her right foot, and twisted her right knee. We got back from the hospital around 4:30 am and did not get any sleep. Taking her back home my parents drove us to my sister's home in Eugene and her parents met us there and drove the rest of the way back. This allowed both Mary Jo and me to sleep in the cars.

Spring Break

For Spring Break Mary Jo and i decided to go to California. She has never really been. We plan to go to the beach and to Yosemite national park. Mary Jo has never really been to California. She went to a funeral but did not get to enjoy California. I was born in California. We originally planned a honeymoon in California but did not have the funds for the trip. We decided that we would go over spring break.

Now we are making the trip. I am looking forward to the sun and going to In-N-Out Burgers. I don't think In-N-Out has the best burgers in the world but going is always a good experience. Their food is great, better than any other fast food chain i have ever been to. I also am looking forward to taking Mary Jo to a real beach. The beaches in Oregon and Washington are not the same. Sure there is water and sand but the water is cold and nobody wants to play in it for too long. In Washington you go to the beach for a couple hours. In California you can go to the beach for days.

We also want to go to Yosemite National Park. Going is always an enjoyable experience. They are expecting snow on the day we were planning to go. We don't yet know if the weather will be good enough for us to get to do and check out the things we want to go experience. We will wait until Monday or Tuesday to see how the weather will actually fare for us. I hope we get to go.
