San Diego Adventures II: Old Town San Diego & Mormon Battalion


Next, it was off to Old Town San Diego &
The Mormon Battallion Historical Site
This historic site has been newly renovated and
their new high-tech multi-media tour is really cool.

We journeyed West with the Battalion
and discovered their hardships, perils and joys.
We also saw cool old cannons and Army muskets.


The family activities were really fun!

Like...
panning for gold!

  
"Look...a nugget! I've struck it rich!!!"

You can view all of Old Town from the Site Tower...
or pray...not sure why my children are doing this :)

Emily discovered she could wink intensely :)

You can drive a replica
U.S. Army covered baggage wagon...

or "jus' set a spell" on the veranda.

Either way, if you hang around long enough,
they enlist you and you become... 
Honorary Members of the Mormon Battalion!
