San Diego Fun

We've been loving our stay here in sunny southern California! Who can come to San Diego and not visit Old Town! We ALWAYS go to Old Town to eat great Mexican food. We met up with Teralyn to have a wonderful lunch in Old Town at a very local place called Old Town Mexican Cafe. It was authentic and delicious! Here's the gals making handmade tortillas that get delivered to your table hot with butter! Yum.

We also went and visited the Mormon Battalion Visitor's Center here in Old Town in San Diego. We've taken the kids there several years ago, but they recently renovated the visitor's center and it is GORGEOUS and very "disney-ish". There was a lot of money put into this renovation!

I got Star and SKy to jump in the covered wagon for a quick photo.

At the end of the "journey" in the Visitor's Center, you can have your photo taken and it comes out looking old-timey and you can then get a photo right then and there and also you can email a picture to yourself.

We also discovered the U.S. Open Sandcastle Competition was going on at Imperial Beach here in San Diego. We went on a Saturday where it was the beginning of the competition. There was a street fair going on and also a children's competition. The BIG competition didn't begin until Sunday, but here was a guy working on a welcoming piece for the competition.

Here's a picture of Imperial Beach on a Saturday...crazy, huh?

And yes, this is the border wall between the U.S. and Mexico. No, we don't dare go to Mexico, but there is a great outlet mall on the border called Las Americas Premium Outlet that we have been to before and the girls wanted to revisit.
