Life in the East: Family Vacation

Family Vacation

This Summer we were able to go to Utah (me and Damon), Seattle (Mike), and then we met up in Southern California for our actual "Family" Vacation. Mike was auditing a hotel in Newport Beach, so Damon and I flew out and stayed at that hotel for a few days, then headed further south and stayed with our ever so gracious friends, Chantel and Carl. Damon had a blast with their two adorable little boys, Crew and Jax. We were also able to visit with my good friend Jaime and her husband Josh (who was actually in the accounting program with Mike at BYU), they have a little girl named Jadyn (we're all keeping our fingers crossed - hoping she's Damon's future wife). During our trip we made it to the beach 4 or 5 times, to the San Diego zoo, Coronado, and Balboa Park. We were so grateful for our friends hospitality and for just being
able to spend time with them! I know there are so many....but I hope you enjoy the pictures!

(Chantel - like you said - I can't believe that we didn't take any pictures together! )
