Mission San Luis Rey 05-03-2018

When we are on trips to new areas, we always want to make the most of our new locations. We both also really enjoy checking out missions that date back to the days when California was actually a part of Mexico. This trip is no different! We were very lucky to be able to spend a couple hours checking out 'Mission San Luis Rey' here in the city of Oceanside.

One of the amazing thing about this mission is that during part of it's lifetime, it fell into disrepair due to neglect and looting. But, the decision was made to resurrect the mission to it's former glory.

The pictures pretty much speak for them selves. We love seeing old places like this. We can't wait to get back to the east coast and see artifacts of civil war era to explore more American history.

Safe Travels all!
