On December 20th we hauled 150 miles to south east of San Diego to Pio Pico Thousand Trails Preserve near Jamul, CA. it is a wonderful place. The preserve is divided in half by the road. We opted for the less populated half on the north side of the road. There is no sewer hook ups there so less people stay there. We like fewer people. We are here from Dec. 20 - Jan 3, backed up against a lush creek. Half our days here have been in serious flood creating rain and half the days have been beautiful!
We took advantage of there being a temple near by on Dec 23 and spent our morning there. It is a beautiful temple inside and out!
Then we went to "Old Town San Diego" and visited the Mormon Battalion Visitors Center. We spent a long time there. The displays were amazing and the spirit was reminiscent of our mission time we spent in Oakland. We loved being with the senior and sister missionaries there.
These 5 boys that accompanied us on a missionary led tour reminded us so much of when we were younger and traveled around with our 5 boys. They were cute and very active, though well behaved. Here they were getting outfitted to march with the Mormon Battalion.

As you can see by the lateness of the hour, we stayed there a long time.
