Spring Break - Mormon Battalion Historic Site and the beach

 On Monday, we drove to Old Town San Diego, and went to the Mormon Battalion Historic Site. This was our first time and I highly recommend it. It is incredibly done! The missionaries do a great job on the tour, and we learned a lot through the interactive experience.











We drove over to Coronado Island, where we had had a really great time last year on our July trip (there's a Navy base, and American flags were flying every where). But Monday mid-day was cold and windy. We went to see that beach, and didn't get very far. James sat and waited huddled up for JB to go get pizza.




We ate the pizza and played at Spreckles Park, which we discovered last July. 




But then it rained and so we drove back to the AirBnb. JB took the big boys to the outlet malls, where they got some new shoes and clothing they were pretty excited about, while the little kids and I played games and watched shows. But then later that afternoon, the rain cleared and it got much nicer, so we walked down to the beach again.

  





Sharing is caring with sunscreen



Having sand toys to borrow and take with us was a great thing


Millie couldn't get enough of the water and the sand



Andrew got really good on the boogie board



Ben picked right up where he left off last July



Millie cracked us up with her poses




They got a little cold from the water







I saw some people walking along the beach in jackets and hats, but I thought it was great weather. So much better than a wintery Utah!

Your kids look like they were born to be beach lovers! (At least when it isn't windy.) So fun to see your pics from the Mormon Battalion visitors center. We went to San Diego on our honeymoon. We were the only ones in the video portion, and all I remember is lots of smooching! 😏
