The Mormon Battalion

We wanted to head to Old Town San Diego and my friend Apryl (who lives in Carlsbad) suggested we take the train. She said it would be fun for the kids and it was also cheaper then gas. So we went to the train station waiting for the train and the kids were so excited. The train ride was nice too. It was real smooth and quite and the kids loved looking at all the scenery, especially the ocean.




Taking the train to Old Town San Diego

Once we got to the Mormon Battalion we waited for our friends, the Horton's, to meet us there. They live in Carlsbad and after the Mormon Battalion we were headed to one of my favorite restaurant there in old town called Rockin' Baja.

It was our first time going to the Mormon Battalion since they remodeled it, it has really changed! They did so much to it and it was pretty fun. The kids loved it! My friend's husband said its like a Mormon Disneyland.....HA HA!
