Last night in San Diego.  Seals on the rock in the background.

Our last night in San Diego was busy and fun.  We spent the morning at the Birch Aquarium.   They had some awesome exhibits that included sea horses, jelly fish, rays, eels and lots of different kinds of fish.  We also got to watch them feed the sharks and the kids got to touch sea cucumbers and star fish.  In the afternoon we visited the Mormon Battalion in Old Town.  It was an awesome interactive tour and the kids enjoyed panning for gold and pretending to make bricks.  Megan also enjoyed acting as the soldier getting fitted with equipment for the march.  After the tour, we enjoyed walking through old town and getting ice cream.   After a delicious BBQ, we headed to the beach to enjoy the sun set.  The kids enjoyed seal and whale watching and running from the surf.  It was a fun and enjoyable trip.
