Livin' It Up In Baltimore...

So the last few months we have been preparing for this Baltimore adventure and we are finally here! We are working for a great company selling security systems and taking advantage of every opportunity we have off to see the sites on the east coast. We packed up our little house, put everything in storage, packed up the little blue car, and started the 3 day trek across the country! It is a different world out here but we like it a lot. Everything is super old and there is so much green everywhere you go.

On the way out here we made some necessary pit stops...
The big one was in St. Louis, where I have always wanted to visit to see the big arch and Cardinals Stadium. The arch is right on the side of the Mississippi river and is pretty dern huge. We got there right when they closed it so we couldn't take the ride up through it but here are some nice self portraits...





We bummed some tickets outside of the stadium and since there were a bunch of open seats we went to the home run zone... However, some dark thunder clouds came rolling over in the second inning causing the game to be cancelled due to insane rain! But we got the pics and had a Cardinal dog and that was good enough for us. We ran to our car and got back on the road making it through Ohio over night in the rain.

Spring Break . . . Last Minute







Well Dallin and I had gone back and forth on whether or not we should go out of town for spring break. Saturday rolled by and after I came home from work Dallin brought up the idea of going to California within in twenty minutes we were packed and ready to go. We didn't have time to find a babysitter for our fish so we brought Indigo along with us! We stayed with Aimee, Jason, and the kids! It was a blast we visited a different beach each day and just kicked it at night! Luckily, we were there for St. Patricks Day and we helped the kids make a trap to catch the lepercon, but no luck this year! It was a nice vacation, great hosts, and beaytiful weather!

Other Parts of our HoneyMoon






We went to the a session at the San Diego temple it was beautiful and there were many people getting married that day. we also went down to La Jolla beach where there were many sea lions. It was windy but the sunset was beautiful!

HoneyMoon. . . Sea World!

Behind us in the cage there are 15 seals and they got pretty crazy!
The Seals are crazy and starving they love to be around people!

The whales feel very rubbery and sqooushy! It was like nothing we had ever seen and they were white as glaciers!

We saw the whale perform many tricks and we posed several times with the whale. Meanwhile there was a crowd of people that were watching us interact with the whale.
Then we put on wet suits and entered 50 degree water with two beluga whales! they weigh more than the polar bears! They weigh around 2000 pounds!
This is one of the four beluga whales at sea world!
The trainer had the polar bear stand up on his hind legs and he around ten feet tall! He was huge!

The next animal we saw was the polar bear! We were right on the other side of the gate! It was amazing! Sea World has three polar bears and they weigh around 1100 pounds!

We all got to feed the Walrus! He weighs three thousand pounds and has really bad manners. We also help train him by teaching him to whistle and to run back to his water !
Dallin Surprised me and took me behind the scenes of the Artic Wild! The first animal we saw was the Walrus!
Later on we found the flamingos that were all behind gates!
Dallin on the other hand was brave and the flamingos flocked to him!
If you sat with your back facing the flamingos they would come up behind you and start pecking at your head! I was so scared I made Dallin come with me!
When we first entered SEA WORLD the flamingos were just walking around the park!
We spent New Year's Eve in Scottsdale! We ate dinner at Macaroni Grill and came across this huge Christmas tree. Then we went to the huge party at the hotel!
