Missions in California Part 3: San Luis Obispo de Tolsa

Here is the last of the three missions we visited.  This is the San Luis Obispo de Tolsa Mission.  This one felt relatively modern compared to the San Miguel mission, however, we really enjoyed going through the museum which had so many old artifacts.  I especially loved the old christening gown on display, it was simple yet beautiful. I also loved the example of a room with the light streaming in the back window- so gorgeous!  The plants and flowers were beautiful as well.  The cherry blossom trees were rich in color and the cactus and green succulents were huge!  This was especially fun for my daughter. She wrote her mission report on Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolsa and built a mission model (with a few friends) based upon their report.  I think they did an excellent job and I just may post a picture of their model next.  Here is Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolsa… (now, my next goal is to stop, visit, and capture the missions we missed going north…can’t wait!)
