Midgets and Memorials

Justin took Owen to the dentist last week.
2 fillings had fallen out.
I miss military insurance.

While in the waiting room, Justin was reading "Weird California."
I know this because I found the above picture on our computer.
We did some online research and found that there was one midget house left.
Last night we went to check it out and here it is:
Disappointed?
Us, too.
It WAS smallish and had a little door, gate, and garage, but it wasn't near as midget-y as we had hoped.

Since we were already on Mt. Soledad, we drove to the top to see the veterans memorial.
This time we weren't disappointed.
The views up there were amazing any direction you looked.
Being there right at sunset was cool, too.




Loved seeing the temple from up there.

Justin took this picture (see the temple glowing?):
I love it.

Apparently, Dr. Seuss's last house he lived in is on Mt. Soledad, too.

So moral of the story is...go to Mt. Soledad to see the memorial and views. And since you're already there for that, might as well check out the midget house. And Dr. Seuss's house. And all the other amazing homes. Maybe bring a picnic (grassy area and benches at the memorial). And some scooters (there's a path leading somewhere from the memorial). And a jacket.

Midgetville- How fun! And that temple is amazing. You inspire me to go and see things explore.

It is so beautiful up at Mt. Soledad. It's one of our places to take people when they visit!
