The Mormon Battalion in San Diego




During our trip t0 California we were able to visit the Mormon Battalion Historic Site in San Diego and it was awesome.Finally a gun that is big enough! Thanks Dallin for finding it.

This is a long story and I will understand if you just pass on by and scan the photos instead. During the tour of the Mormon Battalion Historic Site, they choose someone to dress like a member of the battalion, and this time they choose Dallin. For him this was a dream come true. Anyways, Dallin got all dressed with a gun, powder box, bayonet, canteen and finally they showed him a backpack. The Sister missionaries told Dallin about how the members of the battalion could only care their most loved and cherished possessions in their packs. Then the Sisters asked Dallin what he would carry in his pack and Dallin answered my scriptures. There was a group aahhh, and Julie and I were shocked at the answer. Needless to say we were pleased, thanks to Julie we have amazing kids.
Both the boys loved the gold panning activity.


Our honorary Mormon Battalion Photo, Honestly this was way cool and I strongly recommend the tour to all who visit San Diego.
This was a point of controversy, Julie and I really like to eat at neat and unique restaurants when we travel and we couldn't resist this Diners,Drive Ins & Dives location in San Diego. We were surprised and happy when the whole Farmer family decided to come.

Sadly it takes time (almost an hour) for good Sea Food. We waited for a very long time and tempers were near boiling point when the food finally came but it was well worth the wait. Hands down the best sea food I have ever had.
