Mormon Battalion Museum

During our vacation to California, we hesitated on making the drive to San Diego for the day, but in the end, our curiosity won out and we drove South to the border. We did not cross the border into Mexico, but got close going to Old San Diego and walking around. We also visited the Mormon Battalion Museum in Old San Diego. If you have not been there, and are in the area, we HIGHLY recommend going. Our friends the Kings recommended us going and were SO glad we took thier advice. I don't want to ruin the fun, but its super fun with up-to-date technololgy that takes you back in time to when the Mormon Battalion was formed and what they went through.
The girls got to pan for gold, pump water and make bricks (those pics are coming!). We are now honorary members of the Mormon Battalion and even got our picture taken. The missionaries on the site were great tour guides and not only answered all of our questiong but were very nice. It was a TON of fun- and FREE!

The girls had to get one with just the two of them and we also got one of our family of four.
