I've been on a little tour of my native state with my two sons. We're trying to see as many missions as possible. That's the goal. The reality is I love being with them and helping them to know that there is more to summer than hours of X-Box.

After so many great road trips, it's great to travel California and still be impressed. We've had some great food, fairly ok cheap hotels/motels, incredible beaches, fascinating and beautiful missions and so much more.
