On April 30, 2011 we were able to attend the Oakland California Temple. This was an absolutely beutiful temple. We loved the temple grounds that had palm trees, fountains, water, and bridges. The balcony on the temple was beautiful as well in which we were able to over look San Francisco and see the Golden Gate Bridge. The balcony also had beautiful flowers as well. We were able to attend the Oakland Temple because of Chris's internship with Cargill which placed us in Stockton, California for the summer. We are actually in the Sacramento Temple district, however we are right on the boarder of
Sacramento and Oakland. The Oakland Temple is much larger and is actually a shorter drive with an hour and fifthteen minutes. Oakland was dedicated in 1964 and is the 13th operating temple.
