Summer Travels: Old Town and Beach

 Saturday morning, we slept in a bit before having a yummy breakfast at the hotel and heading to Old Town.

Squirrel!

We thought it was really funny that they cut out the "sorry" on the missed you sign.

Megan sitting in a tree.

Bedroom in one of the homes. It's quite large.

Megan with some pretty flowers in their gardens.

We spent quite a bit of time at the blacksmith shop. There were three blacksmiths working at the time. This lady taught us a lot about blacksmithing. She showed us how quickly metal heats up and how soft and pliable it gets. Megan asked how to get a gem in metal and Matthew asked about how they make locks.

Some sample locks.

After lunch, we headed to Ocean Beach for a bit.
We walked along the beach a bit and saw this "Happy Ben" being sculpted for the 4th of July.

Matthew, Megan and U at Casa Guadalajara. We sat outside which was mostly nice except the mist from the fountain was a bit cold.

The kids' dinner

We intended to go to the Mormon Battalion site after dinner but had been given wrong information about how late they were open. Oh well! We did look in the wagon.
