In June we went to California for a family reunion. After a very long day in the car we ended up staying at a hotel in Santa Barbara. The next day we met at the Old Mission in Santa Barbara.
The Santa Barbara Mission was established on the Feast of Saint
Barbara, December 4, 1786 and was the tenth of twenty-one California
Missions to be founded by the Spanish Franciscans.
.The Mission's commanding position and grand proportions, graceful
lines and soft, blending colors all reinforce her title, "Queen of the
Missions."
