The Cabrillo National Monument also has a ton of military history. There are old fallout shelters, bunkers, coast guard housing, radio stations (where they would listen for enemy radio contact), and the Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery. The National Cemetery was amazing, but out of respect for the dead and their families I chose not to post pictures.
The Point Loma Lighthouse is also found within this park. You can read about all of the history behind the lighthouse and even walk through the home. This home had some gorgeous views! If you make the drive down the hill from the lighthouse you can play along the beach and when the tide is out there are a ton of tidepools.
If you live in San Diego it is well worth the 5 dollars!!!!
Making the walk down to the tidepools...
A view from the trail
Noah and Daddy making Mommy's heart race... They were just checking out how high we were.... HIGH does it matter???
Along the trail...
The tide was up so we just played on the beach for a little while
Playing with the boys... 
Some of the waves were coming up pretty high... These two were pretty impressed!
Mama and her boys... I think I resemble a pack mule.... 
Gabe was pulling my hair in this picture... 
Inside one of the bunkers... I couldn't believe this is how they would spot the enemy... Amazing! 
Noah thought this was pretty cool...
Gabriel and Mommy checking it out...
You can walk up a short trail from the bunker to see the lighthouse
This is the lighthouse as well as the residence for the lighthouse keeper
Daddy and Noah goofing around... I just wanted to get a cute picture of them, but my 3rd child wasn't cooperating.... and I'm not talkin Noah...
I thought this was a cool picture... It was the spiral staircase heading up to the light...
