On a bright and sunny Saturday morning, we went to San Diego's Old Town with David, Jessica, Devin, and Gabriella. This is the birthplace of the city of San Diego. The Spanish founded a settlement here in 1769 and it was then ceded to the United States in 1850. It was great fun watching the grandkids exploring everything with wide-eyed wonder. We had a wonderful time.
