Old Historic San Diego & Mormon Battalion Visitor's Center

Kellie took us to the Old Historic San Diego Center where the city first sprang up. The Mormon Battalion was a significant part of those beginnings when they stayed in the small community during their march. They Mormons taught the people there how to make brick and the people introduced dry farming and irrigation to the Battalion so the Mormons could survive in the deserts in Utah when they arrived. It was a providential meeting for both groups.

Weston turned 12 and received the Aaronic Priesthood. Gpa and I were lucky enough to join the Story's for the ordination. Congratulations to our oldest grandchild! We love you Weston. Of course the weather was a real draw to get us out of Ogden and into a beautiful place where the air is clean, the sky is blue, and trees were blooming. Oranges, grapefruit and lemons were ready for the picking in their backyard. Light jackets were the coat of choice. No snow or ice. Did I mention that this winter in Utah has been very cold, smoggy, and icy? Yup, a little get-away to San Diego was just what the doctor ordered!
