We actually didn't plan to go to the Mormon Battalion site, but it turned out to be a great place to visit. We had gone to the WalMart to buy some groceries for our San Diego vacation. We wanted some lunch meat to make sandwiches and WalMart in San Diego didn't carry lunch meat...so bizarre to us! We went to the Food 4 Less at the suggestion of the employee at WalMart. While at the Food 4 Less we met four missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We talked with them a bit and wished them a happy Thanksgiving and one gave us a card with the address of the mormon bataltion site on it and told us to go and see it. We had a rental car so we went and it was great. We watched a movie about the history of the mormon batallion and we also panned for gold, and went to the top of the tower and over looked Old San Diego. We even got our picture taken together. We met some sister missionaries and they gave us a coupon to a Mexican restaurant that had a open air patio and open fire box. They had a mexican "dummy" out in front and Ben and Jim posed for some pictures with him! I will think about that dinner in the warm California air when there are feet of snow on our back patio. Old Town San Diego was also interesting and beautiful.
