I love that because we homeschool, we can go on a fieldtrip anytime we want and pretty much everywhere we visit presents itself with some sort of learning. CA history is so much fun to teach and the learning opportunities are endless! We visited the 21st California mission, San Juan Capistrano. The grounds are beautiful and we took a guided tour, so we learned a lot of great things.
Love the flowers throughout the grounds

I thought this doorway inside the great church was beautiful

We had such a great time, everyone was well behaved, the weather was nice and we learned lots of cool stuff! If you get the opportunity go, it's well worth the $8 :)
I love our CA missions! I have been to 4 of them. The one in san luis rey is nice as well and has some interesting history! I am excited for Breven's year that he gets to re-create a mission for school and I hope he gets one we can go see in person. Not homeschooling I do all those fieldtrips myself outside the school to enhance his education.
