Christmas Trip-Day 2

Posted by Daisy at Monday, December 22, 2008

We dropped the kids around noon, their mom is happy to have them of course and she's glad we allowed them to spend Christmas & New Year with her. After dropping them off and taking care of our business stuff we stopped for lunch @ Russ's favorite noodle house in Milpitas.



After eating lunch we went straight to Oakland Temple Visitor’s Center. We did a tour on their Limited Exhibit of "The Healing Power Of Jesus Christ" 13 original sculptures by Angela Johnson. Before the guided tour we watched a short video of her testimony about her artworks. I was moved by her testimony. Her sculptures are beautiful and when I looked at them, they seemed real to me. Taking pictures of the sculptures is not allowed that's why I don't have any but you can visit her website and see her sculptures here .



We then took pictures of the Oakland California Temple.










We met some Elder Missionaries and Andrew was excited to see them and he was shaking their hands. He then told us he wanted to be a missionary someday.


Here's some picture of the scenic overlook from the temple. You can see the Golden Gate Bridge. It was beautiful.
After running around, we checked in at our hotel (La Quinta Inn in Hayward California). They had nice decorations and we wanted to take pictures.

To complete our day we ate dinner at Jollibee in Union City. We love Jollibee!
