The Mormon Batallion


While in San Diego we went to the Mormon Batallion Museum.  They have totally redone it since I was a kid.  It is really nice and has a bunch of fun hands-on exhibits for the kids.  We were anxious to go there because Trent has an ancestor that was in the Mormon Batallion and we were excited to see if we could find out more about him.  We learned that he had donated ten dollars for a cannon they had displayed at the museum (the picture is below).  After the museum we walked around some of the fun shops in Old Town.

Chris had an ancestor there too! Maybe they were buddies and called each other "brother."
