Our adventurous weekend started on Friday when we went to some friend's house and had a really fun game night! We also met more people in our ward...we love new friends!
On Saturday we went to Old Town. It was the weekend when they celebrate the Mormon Battalion coming to San Diego, so there were lots of fun festivities! They had a bunch of stations where kids could learn how the Mormon Battalion and pioneers lived. They made these really cool biscuits - we'll post a picture of it! There was also doll making, rope making, quilt tying and brick making. We walked to the LDS Mormon Battalion Visitor's Center. They have some pretty cool things there to tell you about the Mormon Battalion. Ammon and I thought it had a Harry Potter feel because they had talking pictures in picture frames! After that we just walked up and down the streets of Old Town. It was fun to see all the arts and craft booths. One street was lined with Mexican restaurants, and OH MAN, did it smell good! We bought some fresh tortillas from one place. We were hooked, so we ended up getting lunch there!
After lunch we drove to Coronado Island. It's really a peninsula, not an island, but it's called Coronado Island because the connecting piece of land is so small. We went to the beach, took off our shoes and walked up and down the beach barefoot! It was beautiful weather, in the 80's! It was another wonderful weekend!
Can't wait to visit and have you show us around all these wonderful places you are discovering!

I was thinking the same thing as your mom. It's awesome that you are going to learn all of the coolest hidden treasures of San Diego so you can show us around. ;)
