It's not in San Diego, but not too far away in Oxnard.
Only a few weeks before this fabulous collection at the Mullin Museum is closed. February 10th is the last day.

Thanks, Really cool! Don't have our dates yet. Sounds like more choices of what to do than Orcas Island. Sometimes my wife and I stand outside the bakery and watch the bread rise.
