We spent a couple of days in San Diego and made an unexpected stop to visit Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside.
Founded in 1798, Mission San Luis Rey is the largest of the 21 California Missions.
Currently, it's a home for a community of Franciscan Friars and open daily to the public for tours.
The girls had fun remembering their 4th grade mission project.
(Our teenagers looking so grown up now!)
Zach takes a stroll through the magnificent church.
Zach walked down a path, straight to Jesus. 💗
I love old cemeteries. The history is just astounding and it makes you feel small.
We were surprised to find out that the mission is still a working cemetery.
Anyone can be buried there.
After our little detour to the mission, we had some time to kill before we checked in to our hotel so we headed to the beach.
It was a beautiful day by the ocean.
Can't beat Southern California in springtime. Sunny and 70!
Next up, the San Diego Zoo!
