San Diego Trip Part 2

The Sunset view from our room the first night was spectacular. This was the only night we were in our rooms at Sunset so I am glad we saw at least one. So beautiful! Thursday we headed to the San Diego Temple. What a beautiful temple inside and out! It was a picture perfect day,too. I should have reversed these two pictures- the second one is as we were going in...still a little cloudy.. the one right below here was as we were leaving.

After the temple we went to Old Town to check out the new Mormon Batallion Museum.

This is a must see for anyone visiting San Diego. It was amazing and so well done! I learned alot about the Mormon Battalion and what they helped do for San Diego. Here we are inside about to start the tour.

Steve and Troy posing beside a statue of one of the Bataalion members.

The pictures come to life as they tell the story of the Batallion members and their journey. They even walk from picture to picture (just like in Harry Potter)! You move with them from room to room as the story unfolds. It really is quite cool- amazingly well done!

At the end of the tour we had our picture taken and they e-mail it to you.

Then you head outside to pan for gold. This little girl was there visiting and she considered herself quite the expert in finding gold and was more than happy to teach us the right way to pan. She was very cute!

We ate dinner at the "Old Town Mexican Cafe" which was probably the best authentic Mexican food I have had. There were women in a kitchen at the front of the restaurant that you could watch from outside making the flour and corn tortillas. I had a veggie burrito and Steve had spinach enchiladas (see below).

We were entertained by this group while we ate. They were very good even though we didn't understand a word of what they were singing about.

Most of Old Town was closed for the night after dinner so we didn't get to go into too many buildings. There was a band playing at the edge of the town and we listened to them for a bit before heading back to the Hotel for some hot tubbing!!

I might as well spread this out trip out a bit more so tomorrow...San Diego Trip Part 3.
