Mission San Luis Reyes

For Charles' 4th Grade mission project we decided to go visit the mission while we were on Thanksgiving break. We invited Aunt Goo and got a hotel for the night in the area. The mission Charles chose was Mission San Luis Reyes. Aunt Goo teaches 4-6th grade and she has made it a personal goal to visit ALL the California missions. She hadn't been to Mission San Luis Reyes yet so we were happy to have her join us and to help her work towards her goal. 

We drove down to Oceanside stayed at a hotel. Then the next day we headed over to the Mission. Mission San Luis Reyes is one of the only missions that is still an active fully functioning mission. It was neat to learn more about it. It wasn't as entertaining as the kids thought it would be but it was a good experience for them and Charles was able to get some good information for his project. 

There was Mass going on when we arrived.
