Camp Pendleton (continued)

We learned early last week that my great Aunt Vi had passed away on Super Bowl Sunday. She was 105 and would have been 106 in a few months. Her memorial service was last Saturday.

My sister Janet and her partner Nancy from Sacramento drove down last Friday in their RV and camped with us here at Camp Pendleton. My uncle Paul flew out from Maryland to attend the services too.  

We enjoyed a small family reunion on Sunday night at my Aunt Clara and Uncle Earl’s home in Vista with their son Paul, my Uncle Paul, Janet, Nancy, Julie and me.

The four of us enjoyed a couple of nice Pacific Ocean sunsets in the evening here at Camp Pendleton and then seeing the young Marines drive by the campground in their amphibious vehicles during the day.

 

On Wednesday we joined our friends Rob and Janet on a train trip from Oceanside to San Diego’s Old Town. The train was so enjoyable to ride, without the stress of driving the hectic, crowded interstate. It was only $5.50 roundtrip for each of us to go about 35 miles down the coast.

We enjoyed our six weeks at Camp Pendleton, but we head out tomorrow morning for a short drive up to Indio, California for the weekend.
