We were able to see many other tourists attractions in San Diego. We went to the docks and toured the USS Midway. I cannot get over the size of that ship, it was incredible. My good friend Spud told me they are fun to look at and around but they suck to live in. I am greateful for those willing to sacrifice, it was a humbling place to be. We were touring on a Sunday so wanted to keep what we did to a minimal, but we stumbled on to the church's Mormon Battalion Center. We went on a tour that actually brought everything to life. We were able to complete a journey with the men, women and some children that marched in the Mormon Battalion. At the end of the tour you could type in a name of an ancestor and read their history of the time they spent with the battalion. We also got to pan for gold and see how brick were made. We also found the San Diego temple and were able to look around it. It seems like even in the middle of chaos there is still such a peace on the temple grounds. It is a beautiful temple.
