It's Friday, where have you "soared & explored" to this week? We went down to Cabrillo National Monument down in Point Loma where we were able to get in the park free this week due to National Park Week. It lasts through this weekend until 4/29. But, feel free to go anytime, it's only $5 per vehicle to enter the park. While there you can visit the Visitor Center where you can learn all about the history of the Lighthouse, of Cabrillo, the historic military building there. Then, you can trek up to the Lighthouse and actually climb up inside it (almost, but not all the way, to the top). There's a wonderful look out area, where during early part of the year you may be lucky enough to see the migrating whales. We went down to the tidepools area, and while it was high tide, it is still a lovely place for family photo opportunities and play in the sand and explore the rocks. We saw a pair of seals cruising through, the kids got really excited to see them. Also, many heron and other wildlife in the area.
We also made it to Old Town, San Diego where we visited the State Historic Park. It was fun and informative to to see and learn about the history of San Diego through touring these old adobe homes, businesses and city buildings. We went in San Diego's first Courthouse, saw the jailhouse, the schoolhouse, a restaurant, and the Seeley Stables. Also while there there were quilting demonstrations and blacksmithing. There's lots of great little shops, an old fashioned candy shop, a moccasin store, cigar shop, and lots of pottery available for purchase. The gardens on the grounds were very lovely this time of year, lots of beautiful flowers in bloom.
Let us know where you "soared and explore" to this week. Feel free to link in the comments or post on our Facebook wall.
Keep Soaring and Exploring!
