On Sunday we went to Old Town San Diego and walked around the historic buildings, got lunch at an amazing bbq place called Phil's, then watched some conference at the Mormon Batallion site.
We were ready to go for the tour right after. Scott surprised us by volunteering to be a soldier during the tour. He doesn't typically like being the center of attention or singled out like this, so I was proud of his bravery. I could tell he was nervous, but he did a great job and looked very cute.
The tour was long, but interactive and engaging and we all enjoyed it and I learned a lot. After the formal tour ended, we played with the hands-on displays outside.
Washing clothes, panning for gold, making bricks.
We climbed these lovely steps
and were rewarded with a view of the city.
The covered wagon out front was another favorite.
Our next stop was the Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcala.
I love the simple, clean style inside. And there was a choir practice going on, which was beautiful and showed off the acoustics.
Scott, Jonah, and Perry loved the fountain.
We attempted a family picture before the boys lost all control.
I ordered pizza and we picked them up on the way to the beach.
It was supposed to be just a calming sunset walk, but these little diggers couldn't resist.
It is so beautiful there and we were already talking about coming back, possibly without kids.
When it got dark we dragged the kids away from the ocean and back to the hotel.
After a long drive Friday and busy Saturday on our feet, a restful Sunday was just what we needed to get ready for another full day of fun.
