This is staring at you.
This is our Auto Club Southern California Day Trip to Los RIos Historic District.
We are at Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center,
and today we're taking the Metrolink to San Juan Capistrano.
Here comes the train.
I am enjoying the view with my mom.
We have arrived at San Juan Capistrano.
We're walking to the Los Rios Historic District.
Established in 1794, the district consists of 31 historical structures
of various architectural styles, that span two centuries.
We're at Hidden House Coffee.
The tree shaped patio is an ideal place for indulging in a flavored espresso or iced coffee.
I am going to have an almond croissant.
We are at Zoomars. This petting zoo welcomed 3 million visitors in the past 30 years.

Now we're going shopping.
We're at Bambu Earth.
Their skin care products are made with sustainable, ethical and local ingredients.
I am getting my hands washed.
We're at Cottage Home and Garden.
This shop has an array of whimsical garden supplies and gifts for the home.
Oh no, the sun is burning me! I need a butterfly! Ah...butterfly.
We are at Nest.
Nest is a charming boutique with an eclectic selection of locally crafted items.
Who is she smiling at?
We are at The Cottage Gallery.
This place has wares by more than 30 local artists, and exhibits that rotate bimonthly.
Is that a mirror or is that a door?
We are at Montanez Adobe.
This place is believed to be one of the original 40 adobes constructed by mission Indians in 1794.
Am I supposed to touch this?
We're at Mission San Juan Capistrano.
Founded in 1776, this was the seventh of twenty-one missions in California.
Now we're going to do an audio tour of the mission.
The audio tour features music, history and storytelling about California history and uncovers the Jewel of the missions.
I'm going inside one of the rooms.
I am learning about the artifacts here.
What and where is the Kiicha?
Where are there so many holes in this rock?
Famous for the Annual Return of the Swallows,
Mission San Juan Capistrano is the “Jewel of the California Missions”
and welcomes over 300,000 visitors each year.
I am trying to read the music sheet.
I am going to find out what people ate here for meals.
We're at the Great Stone Church.
On December 8, 1812, this building fell due to an earthquake that killed over 40 people attending mass.
Over the years the decision was made to preserve the remnants 'as is' in memory of these people.
What's a poor box?
This is the Industrial Center.
Grapes were first planted at the Mission in 1779.
In 1783, the first wine was produced from the winery.
Candles, soap, grease, and ointments were all made from animal fat in these large vats.
Now we're visiting the central courtyard.
Looks like they're having an event here.
I am looking at the koi fish in the fountain.
We're going into the Serra Chapel.
This is regarded as the oldest standing building in California.
It is also the only remaining church in which Father Serra is known to have officiated mass.
I had so much fun at the Los Rios Historic District.
