California: Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail

While we were in California we stop at one of the location where the Juan Bautista de Anza trail went through.  We went to El Presidio de Santa Barbara State Historic Park.

Encompassing the original site of the 1782 Presidio, the park interprets life in California under Spanish rule. Some soldiers of the original garrison were members of the 1775-76 Anza expedition. It offers exhibits on the history of the Spanish and Mexican periods, and includes the Buenaventura Pico Adobe built by Anza expedition descendants. The address is 123 East Cañón Perdido St. in Santa Bárbara.

The place was very interesting.  We walked around and saw a lot of different things.  You can get stamps there too.  https://www.sbthp.org/

California: Channel Islands National Park

Last summer me and my mom went on a boat to the Channel Island.  It was pretty to see.  You can plan a all day adventure on one of the island but we just decided to stay on the boat.  We got to see a lot of dolphins along the way.  The boat was a lot of fun though.
