California Part 3

Brendan, Brad, Paige, Lewis, Sage, Bruce, Hazel, Jessica, and Zander.



My sister Paige lives just a little north of San Diego in Fallbrook, the avocado capital of the world.  She has a beautiful backyard with lots of fruits, flowers, and herbs.  When you drive up to her house you can smell all the wonderful plants.  They have lemon, lime, orange, pomegranate, kumquats, and almond trees.  They have several herbs like lemon verbena, bay leaves, sage, rosemary, thyme, lavender, and many others I can't remember.  They also have chickens, a wandering turtle, a trampoline, and a playground in their yard.  Hazel had a blast playing with her cousins! 

We went to the Mormon Battalion in Old Town San Diego.  I had never been there before and I guess they recently remodeled it.  I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it if you are in the area.  Bruce's old roommate plays a part in the movie they show, so that was kind of fun to see.  They make it really fun for kids with the movies and activities. 


In Old Town we went to Fiesta de Reyes and ate some delicious Mexican food.  It is a complex full of shops and restaurants.

On the way home we broke up our drive by staying at a hotel in Vegas.  This is Hazel posing from our room on the 27th floor.  (Some of the last photos were taken with a phone so they are not as clear.)
