Day 2-Mission San Diego de Alcala

WOW - what a busy day....we toured 2 missions, Old Town, Horton Square, and Seaport Village. The kids appeared to be most excited about the Mall! Hooray - Fovever 21, Del Sol, Lids, and lots of new flat bill baseball hats! Some chapherones were very excited for the Nordstrom's shoe department, others for independent book store, and all of us for starbucks!

We have walked and laughed all day! The kids are now in the hottub and we are waiting to call curfew!!! How can they have that much more energy than us?

We had a very enthusiastic docent who talked at length (1 1/2 hours) about the Settlement of San Diego and Spanish-Mexican politics from the 1800's!?!??! The Mission was beautiful, both the architecture, art and landscaping. The roses here were amazing.

Coronado was so beautiful....the kids loved it.

Tomorrow we hit the road for LA. The girls are begging for Rodeo Drive and the boys want to go to the beach!
