Moonlight Beach

Sunday before we headed home we went up to Moonlight beach, it has a play ground and grass near the beach and was lots of fun although I think next time we would opt for Cardiff by the sea or La Jolla Cove for a place like this or even Del Mar beach from what I have heard. Anyway it was still a lot of fun but rocky. After a morning at the playground and on the beach we stopped by the San Diego temple as we headed out of town which we failed to realize we were so close to the entire time we were there, as you can tell it is BEAUTIFUL and peaceful and it was a nice walk around before we headed the 5 hrs home.

We had a really really great vacation and I am so glad we get to do things like this! Hope it wasn't too overwhelming!

Torrey Pines

These pictures are backward so oops. On Saturday we went to Torrey Pines State reserve and beach, There is a hike down to the beach that was really green and pretty, it was a little gloomy on the walk down but as soon as we hit the beach the sun burst through the clouds and it was wonderful beach weather, we caught a crab and Josh, Grandpa, Lacey and the kids played in the waves a little and we enjoyed the sand, you can see how hard Morgyn was working in the sand with her tongue hanging out! She LOVES the sand and getting dirty, Taylor will play in the ice cold water for days and Colin likes a little bit of both but is always first to be done and ready to move on to something else. We then went back to the hotel had lunch, swam in the hot tub and then in the evening we went to the Mormon Battalion Museum which was really fun and cool to see, there was a covered wagon for the kids to sit in, Gold mining and brick laying and the story of the Mormon Battalion members that helped settle the San Diego area and the things they brought from the east that helped in the progression of civilization for the California Coast. It was a digital tour of sorts and I really liked it, we forgot the camera so I don't have any pictures of that. Saturday night we hit another WONDERFUL Mexican eatery and had an adventure full of laughs finding desert which of course Dad Martin needed (he he).
