It's 4th Grade Mission Project time! Of all the Southern California missions Bryce could have been given, he was given one more remote in central/northern California! And the only basketball free weekend we have before the project is due... just happens to be a rainy one! #Roadtrip! #2boys2Dogs
Flat Stanley is with us until April, so he tagged along as usual.
We arrived more than an hour before it opened and just decided it wait at the locked gate because it's on a really long, off beaten road, in the middle of no where! Luckily, a woman who worked there opened the gate and said we are welcome to walk around.
Yoda and Burger got a nice hour walk around history!
See that mission in the background? Now how do I replicate it with Bryce?! (#Nomodelsjustimagination)
Old dinner bell that someone had to ring!
Beehive oven where they use to bake bread.
On original pomegranate tree preserved from mission days.
We found a grave site for a couple. This is something the model kit would have included! We will!
Original olive tree still standing! "I didn't know olives grew on trees?"-city boy.
New addition in the back that is used for as a retreat center. Families can spend the night there! So cool!
Courtyard so peaceful and beautiful.
The church is still in use for Sunday Mass. It is beautifully preserved and the details are nearly all made of wood. There was a soothing chant playing inside. Made it seem like the place was still alive.
View of some of the wonderful, untouched grounds.
Mission Father Junipero Serra Statue...
The Rose Garden courtyard with new souvenirs.
Absolutely beautiful day to visit California history...
