We headed to see the newly remodeled Mormon Battalion Visitor Center in Old Town San Diego. This is a MUST see if you ever head to San Diego. Lizzie thought this place was better than Legoland. We liked it so much that we stopped here again before leaving San Diego to head home.
Glad we weren't traveling in one of these wagons!
Our kids loved panning for gold.
They had Fools Gold mixed in with the rocks for kids to find and take home.
The interactive film throughout the visitor center brought the whole experience alive for the kids.
Lizzie as a pioneer
The kids loved the interactive map showing how far they had marched.
Emma loved the horses!
We met up with the Ashtons, a family from Salem, Utah, that we met at our hotel. Our kids had a great time swimming and playing together at the hotel and on our 2nd visit to the Mormon Battalion.
Another picture of the Ashtons. Their son, Jacob (in the plaid sweatshirt), goes to the same high school as our nephews and nieces in Utah. Small world.
Lizzie got picked both times to dress up! No wonder she loved this place.
Note: If you go to see it, sit on the crates when you go into the big room! They are the best seats in the house.

I so want to visit here! It looks like so much fun and will definitely be one of the places we go on our vacation in January!
