Destiny, Jared, and Justin Climb the Steps at the Lavandaria at Mission San Luis Rey, Oceanside California
I have a lovely blog entry in my head about a weekend pilgrimage that Justin and I did right before Lent here in San Diego. Now is not the time to write it however! In the mean time enjoy this picture of the beautiful lavandaria (laundry area) at the Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside California. I really enjoyed visiting this mission. It had a great little museum, beautiful church, and this fun outside area to explore. Justin particularly enjoyed the gargoyles and we had fun trying to figure out why the water spouts had these Incan looking gargoyles at a Catholic Mission. If anyone has the answer let me know.
Since this is one of my more aesthetically pleasing pictures, I am entering in in my friend Debbie’s Photo Friday Roundup at Delicious Baby. If you want to see travel photos by bloggers more skillful than I, please check it out at http://www.deliciousbaby.com/journal/2009/mar/12/photo-friday-home-food-rome/ .
Happy Trails,
Bridget

I love visiting the missions when I’m in Cali. Such culture! Thanks for sharing!
I’m with Beth — I love the missions here. Such a cool legacy!
Looks like a beautiful spot.
The angle and placement of the kids in this photo nicely draws your eye up to the doorway/focal point of the picture.
I have very fond memories of exploring the Missions when I lived in California. It was my favorite part of 4th grade state history! I have to admit that San Jaun Capistrano is my favorite!
