Allan and I decided to getaway for a few days to celebrate our 38th anniversary. It has been quite a few years since we have taken a vacation with just the two of us. We are usually visiting family and doing things with the grandkids. We really had a great time going off by ourselves and enjoying our time alone together.
We left Monday morning and first dropped off Frodo at Terri and Dave's and then headed down to San Diego. Our first stop was to the Mormon Battalion Historic Site in San Diego. We enjoyed the tour with the Sister Missionaries and learned a lot about the battalion. Here are a few pictures from our tour.
Allan knew he had a relative but couldn't remember his name so he called his mom and we were able to find him on the list that they have on a computer screen. Henry Weeks Sanderson was a member of the Mormon Battalion. It was fun to find him in the list and read a bit about him.
Outside in a little patio area you could pan for "fool's" Gold!

After we were done we walked across the street to Old Town San Diego and walked through a couple of museums. Then did a little shopping in the open market where they had a lot of things from Mexico. I found a nativity set and a gourd painted with a nativity scene.
These pictures are some of the interesting things we saw at the museum.
We then headed over to our motel and got checked in. I wanted to find a restaurant that was featured on the show Diners, Drive ins and Dives and have dinner. We found one called Hob Nob Hill and it was only a 12 minute walk from the motel. We walked to the restaurant and enjoyed dinner. We also ate breakfast there twice. We agreed that breakfast was much better then dinner. It was fun to eat at a place that was featured on the show.
