Ahhh, I've got some catching up to do here. We've been having a fun summer with swim lessons, beach days (when the sun comes out), and exploring all that our city has to offer. Well, a couple of weeks ago we headed down to Old Town to check things out. The kids had never been there before, and it had been years since my last visit. It was another gloomy day (we seem to be having lots of those lately), so it was a good day to be out running around. Even though the kids don't really understand there was life before they were born, it was nice to expose them to the history of San Diego.
We had fun climbing in an old covered wagon

We checked out an old canon. Not sure they understood what it was used for. We don't allow guns in our house!
We visisted an old one-room schoolhouse

We met up with some good friends. The kids were enthralled by this man fixing the old wall. They were asking him all kinds of questions.
I also took the kids to see the famous haunted Whaley House, but no sooner were we in the door when a certain recently potty trained little boy decided that he needed to pee, so we didn't get to spend much time in the old house. I didn't tell Caityn that it was a haunted house until just before we entered. She was freaked out by the prospect of ghosts and clung to me the entire time we were in there. I'm not even sure what she understands about ghosts, other than what she's seen in Disneyland's Haunted Mansion and the "ghost" who occasionally slams our front door closed on breezy days :)
