San Diego

We took a quick little trip to San Diego for 2 days.  We went and toured the USS Midway, the Mormon Batallion, and La Jolla Cove......
Grabbing lunch at the Old Spaghetti Factory.....it took so long.  We must have been a scene because a man stopped and asked us if we were running a day care?  Nice. 

 When we left the restaurant we turned the corner and ran into Petco Park.....the boys ran out and explored for a little bit.

USS Midway
It was really cool to tour this navel ship and see what our forces live in.  This was last used in 1991 at Desert Storm.





 On deck......when we started walking we saw this camera crew and could hear a familiar voice over the laptop....it was Ty Pennington.  They were filming Home Extreme Makeover.  Pretty cool.

At the very end of the USS Midway, can you see the active ships behind us?  That was one active bay.....naval ships, helicopters, naval base jets, commercial airplanes, barges, cruise ships, and sail boats.  That place knows how to rock n roll!

The Mormon Battalion
The Mormons had a hand in all the crucial developments in California.  Way to go Mormons in finding this awesome state.


 This was the soldiers uniform. Everything weighed 50lbs to carry.
 Brick Building
 Panning for Gold

La Jolla Cove
This place was so beautiful.  It had seals, kayaks, snorkelers, and tide pools to discover.  The kids loved this beach town.
