The San Fernando Mission
We’re finally getting back to doing tourist stuff around southern California, so today we decided to visit the Mission San Fernando Rey de España. It’s located pretty close to us; we took Iggy and Jett so they could also get out of the house and smell the, um, well, not roses.
Also, Bob Hope’s family is buried here in a large decorated amphitheatre-tomb.
Of course we took pictures with our iPHones, and here they are:
