Mormon Battalion

On our way home from Aunt Kathy's house we stopped by the Mormon Battalion in Old Town, San Diego.  It was a wonderful, enlightening experience. 





We took the tour, which gave us great insight into the experiences and lives of the pioneers on that trek,

 which ended in a mini-museum,



where we got our picture taken - old fashioned style:

On our way out we explored their panning for gold exhibit,




as well as the various water sources on display:

Overall it was a great experience for the entire family and we strongly encourage everyone to enjoy their tour. 

FOR THE RECORD: James got soaking wet at the panning for gold activity and was freezing in the 40 degree weather we were experiencing on that "balmy" San Diego morning.
