Went on a East Coast to West Coast and back road trip last year and stopped in so many beautiful places. My heart is still in Santa Fe but San Juan Capistrano was beautiful as well.

Mission SJC is among the best preserved missions in California. It's a great place to visit, as well as an awesome event venue, and a treasured piece of California history. However, the Mission system was instrumental in wiping out native cultures, enslaving their people and the eventual conquest of their lands and way of living, in the name of God, of course.
It was eye-opening being there with my partner who is part native. Very beautiful but very sad at the same time.
