Inge and Betsy and Rick and I all decided to carpool for the wedding. Since we were in L.A., I didn't want to miss an opportunity to see the Los Angeles Temple. Though it was a bit out of our way, the others graciously agreed to leave the hotel early so we could make a quick visit.
The reason I really wanted to see the L.A. temple in particular (and Brian reminded me that I should say "The Temple", so as to distinguish properly from all the Jewish temples in H'wood), is that I was sealed to my parents there when I was about 17 months old. You might say that it's where our eternal family all began. So it was very emotional for me to see it.
Temples are meant to be a refuge from the world, and I think of all the temples I've visited, this is most evident in Los Angeles. The Temple is right off Santa Monica Boulevard, and it sits on a hill high above the busy road. It's totally breathtaking.

After several photo ops and a walk around the temple grounds, we took a quick tour of the Visitor Center, met some cute Sister Missionaries, and then it was on our way to Malibu for the main event. Such a great way to start off our day!
