Billy Wardle Happenings

Spring Break 2022 The Mormon Battalion Visitors Center is incredible.  The presentation involves animated pictures, with the characters going from portrait to portrait and telling the story.  The sister are also part of the story telling and it is very effective.  You then get to the end with a place to check on genealogy of those in the battalion as well as a canon and other artifacts.  Outside is a gold panning spot in memory of those who went north and helped discover gold.   Tony panning.  You can find fools gold. Tony decked out as a battalion soldier demonstrating al they had to carry.

For spring break this year Sheri purchased the San Diego packages for all of us and we went and did the tourist thing of San Diego.  Of course the San Diego temple and the Mormon Battalion Visitor Center were not part of the package, but the USS Midway Museum, Sea World, San Diego Zoo and Bay cruise were part of the package.  Of course one of the reasons for visiting San Diego was to see Grandpa Scoresby.  He now lives with Cammie and Trent who we also saw.  I took advantage and visited the temple in San Diego.  This was my first time inside the temple.     USS Midway Sea World San Diego Zoo San Diego Bay Cruise Mormon Battalion Visitors Center Carlsbad Beach There were also a couple tourist views close to the pier where the Midway was docked.  There was a memorial of the end of WWII and also a tribute to Bob Hope entertaining the troops.   Morro Bay
