Road Trip: Check

A while back Trev and I took advantage of a long weekend and went and saw a bit of California. I must say I have a lot of fun on road trips with my hubby and we had quite the weekend.




Session in the Fresno Temple: Check
Session in the Oakland Temple: Check
Session in the Sacramento Temple: Check
I guess in Utah it's easy to take temples for granted. It was really cool to be able to visit these different temples spread so far apart. Definitely started our trip out on a high note.


Visit to Folsom City Prison: Check
(RIP Johnny Cash)


Full day in San Francisco: Check


Tour the Winchester Mansion: Check
I saw this on the travel channel and had always wanted to see it for myself. In short, the wife of the founder of the Winchester rifle was haunted by ghosts and believed that in order to get rid of them, she had to be continuously building on her house for the rest of her life. The result: A mad house with over 1,000 doors, halls that lead to nowhere & overall nonsense. So fun. Poor woman.



The "Mystery Spot": Check

Hard to describe, other than their pitch line of it being a "gravitational anomaly", but absolutely awesome in the literal sense of the word. Above I am standing "straight up" and Trev is standing on the edge of a table. There's a spot in Santa Cruz where the gravity pulls you more sideways than down. Although sometimes your brain just can't compute what's going on and you get a bit disoriented, I highly recommend going. You have to visit if you're ever anywhere near there.




Grew/shrunk 5 inches in the Mystery Spot just by switching places: Check (weird huh?)



Took every opportunity to enjoy the amazing California coastline on the PCH: Check.



Bubblegum alley in San Luis Obispo: Check
Bread from small bakery in Danish town Solvang: Check


Amazing road trip with my hubby: Check.
