Day 8

Mormon Battalion
San Diego, California
The Mormon Battalion was a neat experience. We loved learning about our heritage as Latter-day Saints. The kids enjoyed dressing up, panning for gold, and taking several souvenir photos. My favorite part of the experience was the tour. I loved how the missionaries bore testimony of the Gospel through the experiences of the early pioneers. I was also touched by the video. I am grateful we chose to take the time to go to the Mormon Battalion. When we went to Disneyland a few years previously, we didn't know about the museum, so this was our first visit and it was well worth the effort!

Panning for Gold

The kids spent quite a bit of time panning for gold!
