Chamber Orchestra in San Diego


I’m still recovering from a long weekend in San Diego chaperoning the Chamber Orchestra. What a trip! What great kids.  The next few posts will basically be photo dumps. 

Day 1 
4am airport meetup. Get 50 kids on flights. 
Layover in Dallas
Land in San Diego
Lunch at El Indio 
Drive to Baptist University in Riverside, Ca (this took 3+ hours instead of 1.5) 
Clinic with Dr Moon
Dinner on campus “Lance up!” 
Late night hotel check in, fireside, gym, pool, cards in lobby and courtyard games hangout 







Highlights
Duh…Being in California! 
The San Diego temple was a fun site to point out to the kids on the bus. We told them to look up right before we turned the corner on the freeway and they gave an audible gasp upon seeing it. Very cool. 

We were so close to Reese! I even mapped out distance to drive to her on one of our drives. 













Being around my Quincy girl and watching her in action. 
Quincy getting so much quality time with some of her closest people. She is a thoughtful friend and works her way through the group making everyone laugh and checking that everyone feels seen and has what they need. 


The kids loved the skateboard stands all over the college campus. We counted 12 long boards pass by in our 15 minute wait for the bus to pick us up 




This sticker of Jesse preparing to jump was poorly photoshopped into different backgrounds all weekend. Downhill skiing was my favorite. Maybe we were sleep deprived, but we cried laughing over these.
