After a wonderful breakfast we decided to go to Old Town. We spent more time there than we planned because every time we opened a door (went down a lane) it seems like there was a whole other "town". There were shops in every nook and cranny.
Loved this sign. Look at the bottom.
The first area we went to was Heritage Park. It had these neat houses that looked like story book homes and also I believe the first Jewish synagogue in San Diego.
And look at the owners name for this house.
Then we went to the Mormon Battalion. They have a new interactive tour that was so cool! This is a must see. Here is daddy after he has been issued his army supplies and ready to go with the Mormon Battalion.
This is our tour guide Sis Kennington from Layton.
These guns were hEAvy! After the "war", that they never fought, they got to keep the guns. When they arrived in California instead of fighting, the members of the Mormon Battalion helped build the cities before they headed back to their families. Long story to put on here but very interesting. LOVED the tour!!
They had a roster of those that were in the battalion. We found two of Doran's ancestors.
If my dad was still here I would get him this shirt.
After the hours of hurt feet shopping we went to lunch at Coyote Cafe where we were even serenaded.
We went back to the hotel for a few so I could nurse a headache. Then we drove down to Point Loma to see the lighthouse and the tide pools full of neat creatures. Unfortunately we got there as they were closing so we will try to go back tomorrow or Wednesday. We will not be getting there at very good low tides this week but we will try anyway.
We had such a long day and late lunch we decided to order take out. Mmm good. What a good day.
Guess what tomorrow brings?!!
