Yao and I spent our Christmas break housesitting for my aunt Jamie in Dana Point, CA. We had a great time exploring. We went running along the coast in San Clemente, ate Chinese food in LA, visited the San Diego Zoo and ate lobster in La Jolla, went whale watching off the coast of Dana Point, and shopped in Las Vegas. On the way home we hit a major snow storm just north of St. George so we had to stop in Cedar City for the night. We were lucky to have made it though. And the trip made up for the terrible drive home. Thanks Jamie & Sabrina for a great week in the sun!

Later that afternoon we visited Chinatown, 
and then went to San Gabriel to find Yao some authentic northern Chinese food.
Monday we went to the San Diego Zoo. Everyone else apparently had the same idea b/c it was packed! But it was
a beautiful sunny day in December and we had
a great time.
