Which Mission Did You Study?

In 4th grade, California public school students learn about California's missions. I can't remember which mission I picked or was assigned but while MH and I were passing through Santa Barbara this past weekend we decided to stop and visit the Santa Barbara Mission. Unfortunately, mass was in session so visitors could not tour the inside but we wandered around for a bit admiring the exterior since it was such a beautiful day.
