Had a fantastic week! Went to Disneyland with some friends from back home, then headed to the LA LDS Temple in Santa Monica. It was my first time inside, so it was a great experience. There was such a sweetness and peace.

On Monday we got up bright and early and headed up the California Highway 1. It was a great drive! It took longer than just taking the regular freeway up-but it was completely worth it! The views were stunning, and the scenery changed around every corner! That was fantastic.

We listened to Beach Boys Songs most of the way up the 1! I think I only got bored for a half hour or so when we weren't driving next to the coast. But there were some vinyards and flower farms, so it was still entertaining.

As we were driving along, we were looking for another beach to stop off at to look around and take a break. There was a sign on the side of the road that said "Elephant Seal Beach 1/4 mile". So we pulled off. I didn't expect to see any seals on the beach, because after all, there are seasons for elephant seals to come up to the beaches. But the parking lot was packed and there were hundreds of people lining up against the fences. And then we saw the Elephant Seals. They were so noisy and covered the whole beach! I'm so glad we stopped!!!

The "1" took us along the coast a little while longer, than climbed high above the ocean. We were driving up and down along the cliff edges for the last part of our trip. The views were spectacular! We listened to the "How to Train Your Dragon" soundtrack for this part of the trip because we felt like we were flying along the cliff edge!!!

It was a great day. We pulled into Monterey for the night!!
