California

While we were in California we visited Cameron's brother and his family. They live in the San Diego area. It is always so much fun to visit them. We always have a blast and the kids have fun hanging out. I absolutely love the ocean! So every time we are in California I always want to go visit the ocean, even if the water is freezing. We went to La Jolla and it was so much fun. The water was really cold but it was fun to play on the beach. There is just something amazing about the ocean. It is so soothing. I honestly could live right by a beach and be completely happy.

Having fun in the water...burr
Mia didn't like the freezing cold water but she sure loved eating the sand.

After visiting the beach we went to Old Town San Diego. That is a real cute area of San Diego. We ate at a really good Mexican Restaurant...California has the best Mexican food!

In Old Town there is the Mormon Battalion Museum. That is a really cool site. We traveled from room to run and learned about LDS people who went to San Diego to fight for the government. In this picture the kids were able to try on gear. Talmadge's was a bit big. He might want to trade it in for a short size so he doesn't trip on it during the journey.

At the very end of the tour you go outside and you can pan for gold, look out over San Diego, pump a water well, climb a wagon, or just walk around and read about people's lives. This was a really fun museum that I would recommend to anyone visiting San Diego...plus it is free!

We all got a "family portrait" while at the museum. Just about all of us fit. Rachel was in Grandpa's arm and wasn't in the picture. Pretty good for a large group!
