Mission San Juan Capistrano

Brad and I were headed to a wedding in Mission Viejo and decided to make it a weekend trip, thanks to Grandma who watched the kids! Sunday we went to Mission San Juan Capistrano which was amazing! It would have been a bit pricey to take the whole family to but they did have an audio tour that was free. It gave us so much more  information than if we would have been just wandering around that amazing property. We looked into taking the kids to another mission; however, the one we checked out online was cheaper but didn’t have the audio tour. After we went to the Mission we ate Mexican food (all the Spanish architecture caused a craving for tacos) The we drove to Victoria Beach to see this really cool tower on the Beach. We had a great time and really want to take the kids there for a day trip.

The swallows nests. Did you know the Swallows come back to San Juan Capistrano every year on the same day? Yep, on March 19th. I had never heard that before.
