Trip to San Francisco and Hawaii

After our last post, we got bored in Provo. We had a month before school started so we decided one day that we were going to drive to San Francisco and fly from there to Hawaii. We packed and left the next day. We drove for a day to Sacramento, after making a stop for a buffet dinner in Reno. The next day, we met up with Sharn and Eric for the Sacramento Open House. Joanne had never been to a temple open house so she was extremely excited. The Sacramento Temple is very beautiful, standing up on a hill. We got a tour of inside the temple. They have 7000+ visitors a day! After the tour, there were cookies and drinks for everyone. Imagine how many cookies they bake a day. (The cookies were good...)

From Sacramento, we drove to San Francisco where we stayed at Daniel's sister's place. We spent a few days there before flying to Honolulu, HI. We had a great time in Hawaii, it was a lot of fun. We went to PCC, Laie Temple, Waikiki beach, Hanauma Bay, Pearl Habor and visited with friends there. We were there for 6 days and the weather was so good throughout the 6 days. We really enjoyed the beaches. It was hard to leave Hawaii.

Now Joanne is back in school and Daniel will be leaving in a week to go to Chicago for training before heading down to Houston for his full time job. We are going to be apart for a few months...
