The Oakland Temple is another special temple for our family. My wife grew up in Clovis, California. Through most of her youth, the Oakland Temple was her temple. Her ward would take all of the youth in a big caravan to do baptisms. Since then, they built the Fresno temple which is only 20 minutes from her parent's house.
This was the first time she or I had done an endowment session in this temple, so that was a neat experience for both of us. We had the opportunity to be the witness couple, so that was neat too.
This is a very beautiful temple, and it's one of the few to not have an Angel Moroni on the spire. It also has a beautiful view of the San Francisco Bay. I really enjoyed this temple, and I'm grateful I had the opportunity to experience it.
