San Juan Capistrano Mission

Tim took Josie to the San Juan Capistrano Mission. Josie took SO many pictures, not all came out well. Posted the ones she remembered what they were. A couple she was not so sure! She helped me label what everything was. Tim's participation with some home schooling. He enjoys History a lot.

This mission is a historical landmark
